It changed how I thought how I perceived the world, and that's what eliminated the anxiety eventually.
What does it take to turn a life around after hitting rock bottom at 18? Veronica's story on 'Let's Recover Together' offers a gripping glimpse into the trials and triumphs of addiction recovery. Growing up in the fenlands of East Anglia, Veronica began drinking at 14. By 16, she had run away from home to see her favorite band, and by 18, she had reached a devastating low, attempting suicide.
As she puts it, 'it wasn't that I wanted to die, I just didn't know how to live'. Her journey didn't end there. Veronica continued drinking for several more years until a course in addictions counseling at her local college, taken initially to complement her career as a psychoanalyst, became a turning point. Attending fellowship meetings to understand her future clients better, she 'sleepwalked into recovery'.
Veronica's story is not just about the struggles but also about the unexpected paths to healing. She talks candidly about the importance of empathy, authenticity, and meaningful connections in her recovery process. Her journey underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of community support. If you're curious about how someone can find their way back from the brink, Veronica's story is a compelling listen.
Her experiences offer hope and practical insights for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
