I pray that they have the gift of desperation because I remember calling my dad or I was just like, look, I'm either gonna kill myself and jump off this building, or, like you guys need to help me right now and pick me up and like, I don't know where you're gonna take me, but you need to take me somewhere because I'm gonna kill myself.
Ever felt like life was spiraling out of control? Annabel knows that feeling all too well. Growing up amidst addiction and neglect, she and her brother had to create their own rules just to survive. This tough upbringing led her down a path filled with pills, booze, and empty relationships, all in a desperate search for love and approval.
Living in a rundown Hollywood apartment, Annabel hit rock bottom as she tried to manage her pill supply and even attempted to drink herself to death before rehab. But instead of finding an end, she found the 'gift of desperation' that sparked her journey to recovery. In this gripping episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Annabel to explore her tumultuous path from addiction to sobriety.
Annabel opens up about how she recognized her addiction and the devastating impact it had on her life, including sexual trauma. She shares the crucial role her family and sponsor played in her recovery and how she's now living a sober life, empowering other women along the way. What makes this episode stand out is its raw honesty and the powerful message of hope it conveys.
Annabel's story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of seeking help. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate and inspiring look at the journey to recovery. Tune in to hear Annabel's story and join the conversation about the human experience of recovery.
