Leah's Path: From Early Addiction to a New Life in Recovery
“I like sharing my story because I think it just helps other people be like: wow, um, it's okay to talk about these things.”
Leah's childhood was far from ordinary. Starting to drink and use substances at just 12 years old, she spent 16 years in the restaurant and wine industry before becoming a stay-at-home mom in 2008. But it wasn't until October 22, 2021, that Leah decided to turn her life around. In this heartfelt episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', Louise Barnett sits down with Leah to explore her journey from addiction to recovery.
Leah's story is filled with challenges and triumphs, offering a raw look at what it takes to overcome years of substance use. Now a staffing agency coordinator and Chairperson for the Oxford House, Leah is passionate about sharing her story to break the stigma around addiction. She hopes that by opening up, she can help others who are scared to take that first step towards recovery. Leah's journey underscores the importance of support and community in the recovery process.
Tune in to hear her inspiring story and gain insights into the power of perseverance and hope.
