Sobriety has given me authentic relationships with my kids, my girlfriend, my parents, my ex-wife - all of these, and I'm so thankful for it.
Ever wondered how a seemingly normal childhood can lead to a life of addiction? In this episode of 'Project Recovery', Casey Scott chats with Whitney Cordova, who opens up about her journey from early alcohol experimentation to battling heroin addiction. Growing up in Ogden, UT, Whitney had what many would call a typical upbringing. But by the age of 12, she was already dabbling in alcohol.
A back injury later in life introduced her to Oxycodone, and it wasn't long before she found herself caught in the grips of addiction. Whitney shares the raw reality of her descent into substance abuse, including her first harrowing experience with withdrawal. She paints a vivid picture of her rock bottom moment and the pivotal choice between recovery or jail that ultimately set her on the path to sobriety.
A significant part of her recovery story is the support she received from Action Recovery Group, an organization dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their lives from addiction. Throughout the episode, Whitney and Casey discuss the critical role of communication and education in preventing addiction. Whitney's story also sheds light on the dangers of opioids and the importance of seeking safer alternatives.
Listeners will gain insight into the various treatment options available, including day treatment programs, and the essential role of support systems in overcoming addiction. Whitney's journey underscores the transformative power of sobriety. She talks about how abstinence has positively impacted her relationships with her children, girlfriend, parents, and even her ex-wife. Her story is a testament to the fact that recovery is possible with the right support and determination.
