I share this because I don't want the keeps using, instead of going back to recovery, that they have seen work first hand. You don't have to do that, but you do have to show up Every Day.
What happens when the pink cloud of early recovery fades? Heidi Blankenship takes you through her raw and real journey in this gripping episode. She recounts her initial high hopes, the inevitable relapse, and the hard road back to sobriety. Sitting in a group session, Heidi vowed she'd never return to treatment. Yet, months later, she found herself struggling once more. Her secret relapse didn't stay hidden for long, leading to job loss and estrangement from two of her children.
But this isn't just a story of setbacks. It's one of resilience, faith, and the power of education. With her husband's unwavering support, Heidi navigates the murky waters of shame, guilt, and regret to find a new path forward. This episode serves as a poignant reminder that recovery is an ongoing journey, requiring daily commitment and courage.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Heidi's story offers a beacon of hope and a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
