I started choosing a reality that was in my head... But yours was a little bit more serious because it was totally interfering with your life.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of addiction and mental illness? In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, Margot Genger, the author of 'Shift Happens', takes us on a wild ride through her recovery journey. Margot's story is anything but ordinary—she spent the early 1980s as an over-the-road trucker, battling alcoholism and mental health issues while navigating the highways of America.
Her path to sobriety is unique, rooted in secular principles that challenge traditional recovery norms. Margot opens up about her struggles with mental illness from a young age and how writing became her sanctuary. Through self-expression and connecting with a supportive community, she found the strength to overcome her demons. Personal accountability played a huge role in her recovery, helping her to shed self-doubt and embrace happiness.
She also touches on the complexities of living with a partner who isn't on the same recovery journey, emphasizing the importance of finding joy in the present moment. Join Margot and host John S. as they delve into the power of writing, the significance of overcoming stigma, and the necessity of finding the right treatment. This episode is a testament to Margot's resilience and serves as an inspiring tale for anyone grappling with similar challenges.
