I lost my house, I lost my car, my dignity and, yeah, absolutely everything...But this has been awesome, I like it and if I can just, you know, help one person out there, tell them that you know someone does care and you are loved, and make that make.
Imagine feeling like your life is spiraling out of control, and every attempt to regain it only pulls you deeper into chaos. That’s Nicole’s story, a 43-year-old mother of four who found herself ensnared by ice addiction in her 30s. In this gripping episode of 'Removing Addiction and Healing Mental Health', hosts Mike Carroll and Jess Gaddes sit down with Nicole to uncover the raw and real journey from addiction to recovery.
Nicole candidly shares how her brief but intense addiction led her down a dark path of crime and deception, all in a desperate bid to keep her secret from her family. Jail became a revolving door, and the façade she tried to maintain was crumbling. But Nicole’s story doesn’t end in despair. She found a turning point, a moment when she decided enough was enough. Today, Nicole stands as a testament to resilience and the power of support.
She’s been drug and crime-free for almost five years and now dedicates her life to helping others in the community. From volunteering at hospital detox centers to working in the community service sector, Nicole emphasizes the importance of being non-judgmental and kind. She highlights the critical role of education and prevention in breaking the cycle of addiction. Nicole also delves into the importance of self-care, finding like-minded individuals in recovery, and protecting loved ones during the process.
Her story is not just about overcoming addiction but about reclaiming her life and giving back to the community that supported her. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, offering hope and practical advice on finding help and building a supportive network. Nicole’s journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and with the right support, you can turn your life around.
