I made a vow to myself, I will never become physically addicted to vicodin.
Picture this: a high-achieving physician facing a dramatic fall from grace, only to rise again stronger and more resilient. That's the story of Vanessa Klugman, who joins host Arlina Allen on 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast'. Vanessa, a retired doctor turned ACC certified life and recovery coach, takes us through her gripping journey of overcoming addiction and anxiety. Vanessa opens up about her immigration experience and the subsequent trauma that shaped her early life.
She candidly discusses how these experiences led to limiting beliefs and heightened anxiety, which eventually spiraled into addiction. But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's one of remarkable transformation. Transitioning from her role as a physician to a recovery coach, Vanessa found new purpose and strength. She highlights the crucial role of supportive relationships and community in her healing process. Moreover, she shares practical insights into how mindfulness and breathwork have been pivotal in managing her anxiety.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is. Vanessa's story is not just inspiring; it offers tangible strategies for those on their own path to recovery. Tune in to hear how she turned her biggest challenges into her greatest strengths.
