You cannot undo the past, but you can very much change right now how you deal with the present, how you live in the present and how you prepare for the future, how you plan to move forward.
Imagine being 18, pregnant, and having to leave everything you know behind. That's the reality Theresa Gonzalez faced. In this heartfelt episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff talks with Theresa about her tumultuous journey through grief and loss. Pregnant at a young age, Theresa moved to a maternity home, gave birth, and then had to give up her son. She hoped for a fresh start, but instead found herself drowning in unresolved emotions and accumulating losses.
Her struggle with self-esteem and the trauma from her adoption experience led her down a path of partying and substance abuse. Theresa opens up about how she eventually found ways to cope, heal, and ultimately achieve sobriety. Her story is a raw and honest look at the importance of mental health, coping mechanisms, and the power of support.
As Theresa puts it, 'You cannot undo the past, but you can very much change right now how you deal with the present, how you live in the present and how you prepare for the future'. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that delves into the depths of human resilience and the journey towards hope and healing.
