I knew that I did not know how to stay clean, and the people who were clean knew how, and I just had to let them show me and I could never think that I was the one who knew how, because I had no experience in staying clean and that kind of willingness and humility.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of addiction? Meet Patty Powers, whose story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, ultimately leading to a life of sobriety and purpose. On this episode of The Recovery Revolution Podcast, Patty opens up about her tumultuous journey from the wild streets of New York City to the desolate corners of Los Angeles, and finally, to a place of healing and recovery.
Starting with recreational drug use in her teens, Patty’s life spiraled into a series of chaotic events involving strip clubs, drug dens, and destructive relationships. Each time things got too overwhelming, she’d retreat to Toronto, only to fall back into old habits. Her turning point came when she found herself alone in an abandoned building in Los Angeles. It was there that she first encountered the possibility of recovery.
Admitted to a treatment facility in New Orleans, Patty began her path to sobriety with just 42 days clean. Fast forward to today, and Patty is a certified recovery coach, writer, and public speaker, sharing her experiences to help others. She talks about the critical role of emotional coping skills, the importance of humility and willingness in staying clean, and how meditation has become a cornerstone of her stress management.
Patty’s candid reflections on her setbacks and triumphs make this episode a compelling listen for anyone touched by addiction. Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Patty’s story offers hope, inspiration, and practical insights into the transformative power of community and support.
