Imagine switching from a lighthearted chat to the depths of addiction and mental illness. That's exactly what happens in this episode of 'Now Sober Podcasts' featuring Carol. She opens up about her battles with multiple addictions, her experiences in mental institutions, and the harsh realities of growing up in a critical home. Carol's story is a powerful reminder that if you're grappling with mental health issues, you're not alone.
She has been through it all—coping with college life and shyness through alcohol, dealing with medical issues triggered by anxiety and depression, and enduring the stigma of a family plagued by mental illness. Carol’s journey is marked by over thirty visits to psych hospitals and mental institutions. Her struggles with inner rage led to self-harm and suicide attempts. But the turning point came when she found solace in a 12-step program.
Through this, she began to discover who she truly was and learned to be comfortable in her own skin. One of the most uplifting parts of Carol's story is how she found joy and freedom through outdoor activities like kayaking and her passion for art. These outlets have become essential in her recovery journey, helping her embrace life with newfound enthusiasm.
