Diana's Story: From Addiction to Advocacy
“I know that, in that respect, the same wasn't done with me with alcohol, and that ended up being my, I would say probably my number one addiction.”
Imagine growing up in a house where addiction is as familiar as the furniture. That's Diana's story. In this episode of 'Making An Addict', host D.J. Burr chats with Diana about her challenging childhood with five siblings and the presence of addiction from an early age. Diana opens up about how she turned to alcohol and food to numb emotions she didn't know how to express. But that's just the beginning of her journey.
Diana also shares her inspiring work as a suicide prevention advocate, which even took her to the White House. She talks about the importance of the step method in her recovery and the vital role of a strong support system. Diana's story is a powerful reminder that while addiction recovery is a lifelong journey, it's one filled with hope and the possibility of transformation. If you're looking for a story of resilience and advocacy, this episode is a must-listen.
