If we can care for ourselves first and love who we are on the inside- and that's really I mean, you know, we have, we all have our reasons why we drank, why we do drugs, why we put ourselves in the situations. Fix that problem, you know, talk to somebody, get help.
Imagine carrying the weight of traumatic experiences and addiction for years, only to find a way out through self-love and seeking help. That's the compelling story Christine M. shares in this episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', hosted by Jim Rachels. Christine opens up about her tumultuous childhood, where she faced unimaginable trauma, including being raped by her uncle. This early pain set her on a path of addiction, starting with cocaine and spiraling into a chaotic lifestyle.
She recounts her first marriage to an abusive husband and the harrowing moment she had to pull a gun on him to protect herself. Christine's story doesn't stop at the chaos; it delves into her journey as a mother struggling with addiction. She candidly admits to being a 'lousy mother' but always ensured her children had their basic needs met. Her addiction led her to multiple hospital stays and even suicide attempts.
However, the turning point came when Christine realized the importance of self-love and decided to seek help. In this episode, Christine emphasizes the significance of addressing the root problems, talking to someone, and getting professional help. Her narrative is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how deep the struggle. Christine's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding the strength to rebuild one's life through self-love and support.
If you're looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Christine's journey from trauma to triumph offers valuable insights into the challenges and victories of battling addiction.
