Shani D.'s Journey: Healing from Past Trauma and Embracing Recovery

Through cr, I found God and through God, I have finally discovered who I am.
Have you ever felt like an outsider in your own life? In this episode of the Celebrate Recovery Podcast, Shani D. shares her raw and inspiring story of overcoming past abuses and addiction. Growing up, Shani faced relentless teasing due to a speech problem, which made her feel unworthy and isolated. These feelings of self-doubt and shame followed her into adulthood, leading her to use alcohol as a way to numb the pain.
But Shani's story is one of hope and transformation. With the support of her sister, a dedicated sponsor, and the Celebrate Recovery community, she found the courage to confront her past trauma head-on. Shani's journey highlights the powerful role of spirituality in recovery. By working through the 12 steps and surrendering control to a higher power, she discovered peace and acceptance. She also emphasizes how crucial community support and sponsorship were in her healing process.
Her sponsor played a pivotal role, guiding her through the ups and downs of recovery. This episode isn't just about Shani's struggles; it's about her triumphs. She found a sense of purpose and identity that had eluded her for so long. If you're battling addiction or know someone who is, Shani's testimony offers a beacon of hope. Tune in to hear how she turned self-doubt into self-discovery and learn about the transformative power of recovery.
