Recovery teaches us to ask for help, to pick up the thousand pound phone, to make the phone call, to reach out, to have a close group of people in your network.
Ever wondered how someone can go from huffing shoe polish to living a balanced and sober life? Andrea Dye's story on The SHAIR Recovery Podcast is nothing short of remarkable. As a teenager, Andrea spiraled into alcoholism at just 14 and soon graduated to other drugs. Her rebellious and selfish nature made her resistant to the idea of getting clean. At one point, she even considered breaking open an air conditioner in rehab just to huff the freon.
But her journey didn't end there. Andrea's road to recovery was anything but smooth; it was a gradual process filled with intense struggles and small victories. In this episode, she opens up about her battle with addiction, the pivotal moments that led her to finally surrender, and the coping mechanisms she developed to maintain her sobriety since September 22, 1991. Andrea also emphasizes the importance of community and support in her recovery journey.
She talks about how building a network and asking for help were crucial steps in her transformation. Spirituality and faith played significant roles as well, helping her find a new way of living. One of the most powerful takeaways from Andrea's story is the importance of reaching out for help.
As she puts it, 'recovery teaches us to ask for help, to pick up the thousand-pound phone, to make the phone call, to reach out, to have a close group of people in your network'. This episode is a poignant reminder of the transformative power of community and the significance of seeking support in the recovery process. Tune in to hear Andrea's incredible journey from a life of addiction to one of balance and sobriety.
