Witnessing miracles every day. I have a peer that reached out twice this week who went to rehab last weekend. Just miracles I get to see and witness every day for people to even consider sobriety, you know, clean, being clean, whether they choose to do it right now or not. It's just witnessing miracles every day. I think it's amazing, and I love it.
Bonnie Goodwin's story is one of remarkable resilience and transformation. In this episode of 'Recovery Uncensored', hosted by Ty Bechel, Bonnie opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction, trauma, and ultimately, recovery. With over eight years of sobriety, she now travels to Vandalia to share her experiences and the wisdom she's gained along the way. Bonnie’s teenage years were riddled with substance abuse, loneliness, and a harrowing suicide attempt.
She recounts the culture of smoking and drinking that permeated her school life and the distressing events that led her down a path of self-destruction. One particularly horrifying incident involved a car ride that ended in a traumatic violation of her safety. But Bonnie’s story doesn’t end in despair. Her turning point came when she sought help, leading to a profound journey of recovery.
She discusses her time in prison, the heartbreak of losing her children, and the invaluable lessons learned during her rehabilitation. Bonnie’s narrative is not just about the struggles but also about the incredible strength and hope that can emerge from the darkest times. This episode is a raw and inspiring look at how one woman overcame immense challenges to find redemption and purpose.
