I want you to imagine all of your shame in a suitcase and you're carrying this heavy suitcase around and you're getting all like sweaty and losing.
What does it take to turn a life of addiction into one of recovery and hope? In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Rising, host Brian Adkins sits down with Trish, a remarkable woman who has journeyed from the depths of alcoholism to a life filled with purpose and joy. Trish's story is not just about her struggles with alcohol but also about her battles with shame and trauma.
She opens up about the heavy emotional baggage she carried, likening it to a suitcase full of shame that weighed her down every day. 'It's heavy, it's burdensome, and it weighs you down,' she recalls, painting a vivid picture of her past struggles. But Trish's journey is also one of resilience and community support. She found solace and strength in organizations like FAVOR of Greenville and through simple yet powerful reminders like recovery bracelets.
These symbols helped her stay committed to her sobriety. Trish also speaks about the role of a higher power in her recovery, describing an energy that she felt was real and supportive. 'I just felt an energy that was out there that I knew was real,' she says, emphasizing the importance of kindness and positive energy in her healing process. This episode isn't just for those struggling with addiction; it's for anyone seeking inspiration and hope.
Trish's candid discussion touches on family dynamics, the impact of Covid-19 on recovery, and the incredible benefits of community support. Whether you're on your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, Trish's story offers valuable insights and a message of hope.
