What happens when life spirals out of control from a young age? Raquel G. knows all too well. In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto sits down with Raquel to unravel her gripping story of addiction and recovery.

Raquel’s story is one of sheer resilience and determination. She delves into the importance of sponsorship, step work, and building healthy relationships as pillars of her recovery.
Her narrative is not just about hitting rock bottom but also about the climb back up and the hope that lies beyond addiction. Omar’s empathetic interviewing style brings out the raw and real aspects of Raquel’s journey, making this episode both moving and inspirational. If you’re looking for a tale of survival and transformation, Raquel’s story offers a beacon of hope.
