S.A. Blair's Journey: From Addiction to Purpose

I think I've always had this lack of ability to express the way that I feel when I speak, and so I write it down.
Have you ever wondered how someone can rebuild their life after a decade of self-destruction? In this episode of AllBetter, host Joe Van Wie sits down with S.A. Blair, author of 'The Difference: a memoir'. Blair opens up about her tumultuous past, marked by heroin addiction, multiple expulsions, arrests, and even suicide attempts. Yet, through all the chaos, she found a way to turn her life around.
Blair's story is a raw and honest account of hitting rock bottom and clawing her way back to the surface. She talks about how writing became her lifeline, offering a way to process her experiences and connect with others who might be going through similar struggles. Now studying Biology and Environmental Science in Denver, Blair is also working on her second novel, which will delve deeper into her spirituality and ongoing recovery journey.
Her narrative is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of self-discovery. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Blair's journey offers hope and insight into the complex path to recovery.
