I knew that I needed to help in some way, because addiction is so misunderstood, it is so much more than looking at somebody and just saying: why don't you just stop?
Nicole Donofrio's journey is one that many can relate to but few have the courage to share. Growing up with an alcoholic father and later finding herself in a relationship with another alcoholic, Nicole experienced abuse and hardship. It wasn't until she reached a breaking point that she decided to take control of her life and make a change.
In this episode, hosts Joanie Sigal and Jason Good sit down with Nicole to discuss her story and how it led her to create a thriving Facebook Group with over 2400 members. This group offers support to those affected by addiction through friends and family, providing a safe space for sharing stories and finding community. Nicole's story highlights the importance of understanding addiction's complexity and the vital role of community support in the recovery process.
Her group not only helps combat the stigma surrounding addiction but also promotes alternative approaches to detox and withdrawal. Tune in to hear Nicole's inspiring journey from pain to purpose and learn how community can be a powerful tool in overcoming addiction.
