When you are in that place of addiction, you don’t think there is anything else out there. This is it. But as you go through your recovery, step by step.
In this episode of Hope Discovered, Suzanne Parsons shares her incredible journey from addiction to recovery. Growing up in Stark County, Suzanne had what seemed like a normal childhood, but her struggles began at the tender age of 13 when she had her first drink. This episode provides a raw and honest look at how her addiction evolved from alcohol to pills, and eventually to meth and heroin.
Suzanne's story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of seeking help. She talks about the pivotal moments that made her realise she needed to change, including losing her job, facing legal issues, and the painful impact on her family. Through detox and residential treatment, Suzanne found a path to sobriety, despite experiencing relapses along the way.
She highlights the importance of understanding the root causes of addiction and using the right tools to manage it. Now, as a dedicated advocate working in a women's residential recovery programme, Suzanne is passionate about helping others find hope and reclaim their lives. Her message is clear: never give up on yourself or your loved ones. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.
