I worked very hard to really take ownership of the things that I was doing and the ways in which I was contributing to making that situation toxic.
What happens when you stop playing the victim and start embracing your true self? Theresa Carpenter, a U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander, shares her incredible journey of transformation in this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety'. For decades, Theresa struggled with addictions, feeling trapped by perfectionism and the pressures of military life. But in her 40s, she decided enough was enough. She let go of the need to be perfect and began to accept her quirky, unapologetic self.
Theresa's story is one of resilience and self-discovery. Growing up in the Midwest, she faced mental health challenges that led her to seek solace in alcohol and drugs. Through addiction counseling, she learned to take accountability for her toxic behaviors and relationships. She also discovered the power of self-care and effective communication. Theresa now uses her experiences to help other military women succeed and to promote professional development in public relations.
She shares her insights on her blog, 'Theresa’s Tapestries', and her YouTube channel, where she and her husband discuss everything from saving money to DIY projects. Her latest venture, the podcast 'S.O.S (Stories of Service)', highlights ordinary people making extraordinary contributions to their communities. In this heartfelt conversation with host Stephan Neff, Theresa discusses the importance of personal growth, overcoming the victim mentality, and choosing sobriety.
She emphasizes that being yourself is your greatest strength and that self-love is key to recovery. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on embracing your true self and overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
