It's like it really is, like I'm living a life beyond my wildest dreams.
Clara’s story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. In this episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', host Jim Rachels talks with Clara, who opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction and her path to recovery. Growing up in a family where alcoholism was the norm, Clara often felt lost and acted out to gain attention. Her first encounter with alcohol was unimpressive, but drugs soon pulled her into a downward spiral.
Even moving to San Francisco for school couldn't free her from addiction's grip, leading her to drink excessively. It wasn’t until a friend intervened by calling the cops that Clara realized she needed help. Rehab was a turning point for her, where she discovered that spirituality and a supportive network of sober friends were crucial to her recovery. The transition wasn’t easy, but Clara learned the importance of staying humble and asking for help.
Today, she’s thriving in school and living independently, something she once thought impossible. Clara’s story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, showing that with perseverance and support, recovery is within reach.
