Angel's Battle: From Addiction to Recovery - PART 1

My addiction started because everything that was wrong with me they gave me a pill for, and being that, I believe, you know addiction, you're predisposed to it.
In this gripping episode of 'Tales from the Jungle - Living with Addiction', Chelsea Dimitri sits down with Angel, a recovering drug addict, for an unfiltered conversation about her life. Angel's story is a raw and powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience in the face of addiction. Raised by an alcoholic father, Angel's childhood was marked by constant upheaval and instability.
Her father's addiction cast a long shadow over her life, leading her down a dark path of her own struggles with Heroin and Delaudid. Angel opens up about how her addiction began with prescribed pills and quickly spiraled out of control. She shares candidly about the moments she hit rock bottom and the harsh realities she faced, including the threat of jail time and losing her children.
But Angel's story isn't just about the lows; it's also about her fight to reclaim her life. Through inpatient and outpatient programs, multiple relapses, and the crucial support of a sponsor, Angel found her way to sobriety. This episode is a poignant reminder of the importance of support systems in recovery. Angel emphasizes how having people who understand her struggles made all the difference.
Her journey is filled with hard-earned wisdom and insights that can offer hope to anyone facing similar battles. Tune in to hear Angel's inspiring journey and stay tuned for Part 2, where she delves deeper into her path to recovery.
