I knew this question was coming and I was like, okay, I can make up something, but that just would not be cool. But here's what I have found, because, at least for me, I found a lot of what that noise has in my life has been.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of addiction into one of purpose and advocacy? Meet Carrie Burgess, a former perfectionist whose struggle with alcohol, marijuana, and painkillers took her down a dark path. She once taught dance classes while intoxicated and even broke into her mother-in-law's house to steal pills, all while carrying her baby son. But that's just the beginning of her story.
In this episode of The Recovery Revolution Podcast, Carrie opens up about her journey from being a 'zombie mom' to celebrating over five years of sobriety. She talks candidly about the guilt she felt and how she learned to forgive herself for the chaos she caused during her addiction. Carrie emphasizes the role of spirituality in her recovery and the importance of community support.
She also discusses how she consciously distances herself from negativity because words have the power to cripple or uplift. Carrie's transformation is nothing short of inspiring, and her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how far down the rabbit hole you might have gone. Tune in to hear how she found hope and strength through self-love and positivity, and how she now uses her experiences to help others on their own recovery journeys.
