I am a true believer that if fentanyl would have been a thing when I was using, I wouldn't be here today. So you know, if you need help, reach out.
Imagine a life where a simple surgery spirals into a battle with addiction. That's Tami's reality, and in this episode of 'i am somebody', she opens up about her journey. After her surgery, Tami found herself grappling with an opioid addiction that quickly took over her life. The mental health challenges she faced only added fuel to the fire, leaving her feeling empty and lost. But Tami didn't let addiction define her story.
She discovered flow art, a form of creative expression that became her lifeline in recovery. Flow art isn't just about creating beautiful patterns; for Tami, it's a meditative practice that helps her stay grounded and connected with others in the recovery community. Through her art, she found a way to heal and rebuild her life piece by piece. Tami also shares how small acts of kindness and support from others played a crucial role in her recovery.
From a teacher who took the time to teach her about managing finances to the crisis counselors who provided a listening ear, these moments made a world of difference. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not a solo journey; it's one that thrives on community support and connection. If you're looking for inspiration or struggling with addiction yourself, Tami's story offers hope and practical insights into the healing power of creativity and community.
