Nicole's Journey: From Darkness to Light and Sobriety

I choose to call my higher power god, and I threw the gun and I looked at that guy and that was my moment of clarity and, once again, that gift of desperation, saying I can't do this anymore.
Imagine feeling out of place in your own skin from a young age. That was Nicole's reality. Growing up with parents who were emotionally distant, she had nowhere to turn when she faced the horrors of childhood molestation and teenage abuse. This episode of 'A Sober Story Podcast' dives into Nicole's life, where her struggles began long before her first encounter with drugs or alcohol. As a teen, she swore she'd never touch hard drugs, but life had other plans.
Soon, she found herself entangled in a web of addiction, selling drugs, stealing, and betraying her loved ones to fuel her habits. Her rock bottom came when she held a gun to her head, contemplating the end. But fate had a different path for her. In that darkest moment, Nicole decided to turn her life around. Today, she's a proud mother of two and a pillar in the recovery community.
Nicole's story is raw and unfiltered, touching on the crucial role of spirituality, therapy, and support systems in her journey to sobriety. She opens up about finding inner peace and how she now helps others walk the path she once trod. Tune in to hear how Nicole transformed her life from one of despair to one filled with hope and purpose.
