You can have the life beyond your wildest dreams, even when you're at your absolute worst rock bottom, and the only way out sometimes is the thought of suicide.
Veronica Valli's story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. On this episode of The Recovery Revolution, Veronica, the author of 'Why You Drink and How to Stop: Journey to Freedom', opens up about her personal battle with alcohol addiction. Her journey is not just about hitting rock bottom but also about the climb back up, a climb that many can relate to but few openly discuss.
With over a decade of experience as a therapist specializing in addiction, Veronica has seen it all. She has worked with young offenders, adults in primary care, and even in local government settings. But what makes her story truly compelling is her firsthand experience with addiction. As a binge drinker in her twenties, she knew something was wrong but couldn't quite put her finger on it. It took a chance encounter to set her on the path to recovery.
In this episode, Veronica talks candidly about the emotional toll of addiction. She shares how she couldn't face a day at work without a drink and how her life and self-esteem were in shambles. Yet, she also emphasizes the importance of support groups and living in the moment. For Veronica, recovery isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about transforming your life into something you never thought possible.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Veronica's story offers a beacon of hope. She believes that no matter how low you feel, there's always a way up. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and discover how you too can find your path to freedom from addiction.
