As long as I'm talking to god, I'm not going to have a drink again and I'm not going to pick up a drug again.
Picture this: a young girl, trying to fit in, starts drinking in middle school. Fast forward a few years, and she's caught in the whirlwind of addiction. In this episode of 'Raised & Redeemed', host Michaela Nikolaenko sits down with her longtime friend, Madysen Overmeyer, to unravel the raw and real story of breaking free from generational addiction.
Madysen opens up about the wild ride that led her into addiction, the powerful grip it had on her life, and the pivotal moments that guided her towards recovery. She shares how growing up around addiction made it seem normal until sobriety showed her its true impact on her and her family. Through the 12-step program, Madysen found a path to recovery by seeking something greater than herself.
Although she doesn’t label herself as a born-again believer, her journey is filled with 'God moments'—those times when she felt a higher power steering her towards healing. But it’s not just about overcoming addiction; Madysen talks candidly about the ongoing challenges of staying sober, resisting relapse, and navigating relationships post-recovery. She also reflects on the joy and struggles of motherhood, offering a glimpse into how she balances her new life with her past experiences.
Madysen’s story is a beacon of hope, showing that no matter how deep the darkness, there's always a way out. Her courage and resilience are inspiring reminders that healing is possible and faith can be a powerful ally in overcoming life’s toughest battles.
