Finding Light in Darkness: Louise M.'s Path to Recovery and Faith
Today I sort of blacked in my faith a little bit. We sent out messages to the soul church, to my church. So any doubts or fears I had about god were absolutely smashed, and I made some promises- and they're between me and god- about what I would do if my brother gets better, and I've got to now do that.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, feeling lost and alone. That's where Louise M. found herself before she embarked on a remarkable journey to recovery. In this heartfelt episode of '12 Step Recovery Evolution', Rehab Director Lester Morse sits down with Louise to explore her transformation from addiction to sobriety, with faith playing a pivotal role. Louise's story is not just about addiction; it's about resilience, courage, and the power of community support.
She opens up about her tumultuous relationship that led her down a dark path of drug use, including heroin, and how it spiraled into homelessness and dangerous situations. But Louise didn't stay in the darkness. She found her way to rehab and support groups, where she began to rebuild her life. Her journey wasn't easy—she grappled with fear and shame, especially around intimacy—but she found strength in her faith and the support of those around her.
Louise's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It's a reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, recovery is possible with the right support and belief in a higher power.
