Denise W: From Trauma to Triumph on The SHAIR Recovery Podcast

My program of recovery, my sobriety, it's all been about finding my way back home to myself, to me, to my soul, to unlearning all the incredibly dysfunctional ways I had of numbing out and nurturing myself.
What happens when a life marred by childhood trauma and addiction finds a path to healing? Denise W’s story on The SHAIR Recovery Podcast is a testament to the power of resilience and self-discovery. Omar Pinto, the empathetic host, sits down with Denise to uncover her journey through intense personal battles and eventual recovery. Denise's early years were riddled with abuse and self-loathing, leading her into a cycle of destructive relationships and alcoholism.
Her struggle with addiction was compounded by shoulder pain and a toxic marriage, pushing her towards painkillers and frequent overdoses. At her lowest, Denise attempted suicide multiple times, feeling trapped in a relentless victim mentality. However, a transformative experience at Costa Rica Recovery marked the beginning of her new life. On her fifth sobriety anniversary, Denise returned to Costa Rica to share her story, which deeply moved Omar.
In this heartfelt episode, she talks about breaking free from addiction and the victim mindset that held her back. Denise delves into the role of prayer, meditation, and connecting with her inner child in her recovery process. These practices helped her unlearn dysfunctional coping mechanisms and rebuild relationships she once thought irreparable. Her journey is a powerful reminder that it’s possible to heal and thrive, no matter how dark the past may seem.
If you're seeking inspiration or grappling with similar struggles, Denise's story offers a beacon of hope. Tune in to hear how she transformed her life from one of pain to one filled with integrity and self-love.
