Lonnie V's Journey: Healing from Abandonment and Finding Faith

I intensively knew I was messed up, but I did not have a verbal clue about how to express it.
Imagine feeling abandoned and turning to food for comfort. That's the beginning of Lonnie V's heartfelt journey, which she shares on this episode of the Celebrate Recovery Podcast. Lonnie opens up about her struggles with abandonment and rejection, stemming from her mother's addiction. These feelings led her to seek solace in food, creating an unhealthy relationship that masked deeper issues. But Lonnie's story doesn't end there. She talks about the transformative power of faith and community in her recovery process.
Through accountability, counseling, and admitting her wrongs, Lonnie was able to mend her relationships with her children and shed the weight of shame and guilt. Her testimony is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, no matter how deep the pain. Lonnie's journey offers hope and encouragement for anyone facing similar struggles, emphasizing the importance of support systems and faith in overcoming addiction.
