I'm living proof that miracles do happen there and if you want it, you can have it and people.
What happens when life's challenges push someone to the brink, but they find a way back? Meet Shellie G., whose story is a testament to resilience and the power of support. In this episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', host Jim Rachels sits down with Shellie to discuss her tumultuous journey through addiction and her inspiring path to recovery. Shellie opens up about her difficult childhood, marked by anxiety and panic attacks that eventually led her to alcohol.
She shares how her drinking spiraled out of control, especially after getting married, leading to a rock-bottom moment when her ex-husband called the police on her for being intoxicated around their children. But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's one of redemption and hope. Shellie talks about her time in rehab and the pivotal role her father and support system played in her recovery.
Now, she works in detox, helping others who are walking the same path she once did. Shellie's story also touches on the stigma surrounding addiction and the importance of mental health awareness. Her journey underscores the significance of forgiveness and the incredible impact a strong support system can have on one's road to sobriety. If you're seeking inspiration or struggling with addiction yourself, Shellie's story offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is always possible.
