We are all addicted to something: money, success, food, drugs, alcohol and even our problems. These addictions hold us back and prevent us from tapping into our greatness.
How do you juggle a high-pressure career, parenting, and caring for aging parents while battling addiction? Joy Siegel knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Joy, the creator of Senior Solutions Inc., opens up about her harrowing journey through addiction and recovery. Once a successful professional who interviewed celebrities and presidents, Joy's life took a dark turn when she became dependent on prescription opioids to cope with her demanding schedule.
She shares candidly about the lies she told herself to justify her addiction and the moment she could no longer ignore the truth. Joy's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of therapy and community in recovery. She emphasizes how peeling back the layers of guilt and sadness with a good therapist can lead to profound personal growth. Joy also highlights how vulnerability and compromise within a supportive community can be transformative.
Her journey underscores that addiction isn't just about substances; it's about the lies we tell ourselves and the ways we avoid facing our true selves. If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Joy's story offers hope and practical advice for embracing an alcohol-free lifestyle. It's never too late to start living a life filled with happiness, fulfillment, and joy.
