We don't really recover in isolation.
Imagine being introduced to alcohol at just five years old. That was Vicky Cordova's reality, growing up in a family where parties were the norm. In this episode of 'Project Recovery', Vicky sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share her compelling story of battling addiction, depression, and isolation. Vicky's early exposure to alcohol set the stage for her later struggles.
Working in the bar industry in Logan, Utah, she found herself using alcohol as a crutch to cope with the stress of her job. But it wasn't just work that drove her to drink. Motherhood brought its own set of challenges, plunging Vicky into a spiral of depression and isolation that only worsened her addiction. What makes Vicky's story so relatable is her honesty about the ups and downs of her journey.
She talks about the moment she realized she needed to change her drinking habits for the sake of her own well-being and that of her family. Her message is clear: recovery isn't something you can achieve alone. As she puts it, 'We don't really recover in isolation'. This episode highlights the importance of seeking help and opening up to others.
Vicky's story serves as a powerful reminder that addiction can happen to anyone, but recovery is possible with the right support. Whether you're a new parent struggling with similar issues or someone looking for inspiration to start your own recovery journey, Vicky's experience offers hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear Vicky Cordova's inspiring tale of resilience and learn how community support played a crucial role in her path to recovery.
