All of my consequences were existential, you know, spiritual, you know, like fundamental, you know. And so, uh, you know, there was that Six Month gap where I didn't drink or use anything.
What happens when the person administering life-saving drugs becomes the one in desperate need of help? Anna K., an anesthesiologist with over two decades of sobriety, opens up about a night that changed everything. She recounts a harrowing evening when she self-administered the same narcotics she usually gave to her patients. This moment of crisis forced Anna to confront her addiction head-on and seek help through the 12-Step program at MARR Addiction Treatment Centers.
Her journey through recovery has been nothing short of transformative. Anna describes it as an 'exciting period of discovery,' where she began to understand and heal the inner conflicts that fueled her substance abuse. She delves into how much of her outward success was driven by a deep-seated need 'to matter.' Through the support of sponsorship and the 12-Step community, Anna found the strength to face her shame and rebuild her life.
Her story is a powerful testament to the importance of support systems and the challenging yet rewarding path of self-discovery. Tune in to hear Anna's inspiring journey and find hope in the possibility of recovery.
