I am a person recovering from lack of control in my life, and not like lack of control on little things, it was big things.
What happens when childhood chaos shapes your adult life? In this episode of RecoveryInColor, the host takes a raw and honest look at how early experiences with trauma and loss of control can lead to addiction and self-harm. The episode kicks off with a heads-up about the heavy topics ahead, including addiction, depression, and even suicide. It's not for the faint-hearted, but it's incredibly real and relatable.
The host dives into their own story, sharing how a tumultuous childhood and family dynamics contributed to their struggles with addiction. A touching story about a dog on their grandparents' farm becomes a poignant example of how early attachments and losses can influence one's sense of control—or lack thereof.
This episode doesn't just skim the surface; it digs deep into how family trauma and a single-parent household focusing on survival left little room for addressing the host's early signs of addiction. The host's reflections on regaining control and finding a sense of responsibility offer a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar issues. If you're interested in understanding how childhood experiences shape your adult life and your journey towards recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
