And the only thing I can really say is you know, it doesn't have to be this way anymore, and there is help out there, because I think the stigma around addiction keeps people from getting that help, you know, or a simple: I love you and I believe in you.
Have you ever wondered how faith and community can shape the path to recovery? In this episode of The ARCast, meet Chantelle, a therapist and co-clinical director, who shares her personal story of overcoming addiction. Chantelle opens up about the pivotal role her grandmother's prayer book played in her journey, offering a touching glimpse into how faith has been a cornerstone of her healing process.
Chantelle discusses how the encouragement from her own therapist inspired her to pursue a career in therapy, helping her find purpose and meaning in her recovery. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-compassion, shedding light on how these practices can help maintain the path to healing. One of the more challenging aspects she touches on is the stigma surrounding addiction.
Chantelle candidly shares her initial hesitation to seek help due to feelings of shame and embarrassment, but she strongly encourages others to overcome these barriers and reach out for support. Words and prayer have been powerful tools in Chantelle's recovery. She recounts how supportive words from a woman she met in a meeting gave her hope and strength, and how prayer has helped her connect with a higher power.
Her story is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding strength in faith and community. Tune in to this episode of The ARCast to hear Chantelle's inspiring journey and gain insights into the transformative power of faith, community, and self-compassion in the recovery process.
