Bambi Brown: Overcoming Addiction and the Struggles of Motherhood
So you go to a meeting in Hawaii, so I go to, like a young people's meeting, that, and I raised my hand and for the first time in my whole life, I found friends like real, like I mean these are these people that surrounded me, literally lifted me up off the ground because I couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't function.
Bambi Brown's story is a testament to the resilience and strength required to overcome addiction and face the challenges of motherhood. Bambi never saw herself as an alcoholic or drug addict, but an abusive relationship revealed her inability to stop using. Despite being introduced to sobriety at 18, it took her eight years of relapse before she finally achieved sobriety at 26. As a nurse and mother of two, Bambi thought she had found stability.
However, the birth of her first child brought her to an emotional low point in her sobriety journey. Motherhood not only changed her life but also reshaped her views on sobriety. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', hosted by Ashley Loeb Blassingame, Bambi opens up about her struggles and triumphs. She discusses the emotional and practical challenges of being a sober mother, including navigating the medical community for her son's health issues.
Bambi's story underscores the importance of intuition and perseverance in sobriety. Join Ashley and Bambi for an honest and heartfelt conversation that highlights the complexities of recovery and the power of resilience.
