In this poignant episode of 'One For The Road,' host Sober Dave welcomes Lucy Bruce, a remarkable woman whose life story is a testament to resilience and recovery. Lucy, now residing in Glasgow with her two daughters, has been sober for 18 years. Her journey to sobriety was fraught with challenges, stemming from a childhood filled with alcohol, violence, and sexual abuse.
As a young girl, Lucy found herself in a turbulent environment, witnessing domestic violence and suffering abuse at the hands of her grandfather. These traumatic experiences led her to self-medicate with alcohol throughout her teens and early twenties. The addiction spiraled, bringing forth suicidal thoughts and panic attacks, which eventually pushed Lucy to seek help. Despite achieving sobriety, Lucy continued to grapple with unresolved childhood trauma.
It wasn't until she underwent MDMA therapy years later that she found a profound sense of relief and healing. This therapeutic approach enabled her to release deeply held emotional burdens and transform her life. Lucy shares her experiences of overcoming codependent relationships and navigating life as a single parent after divorce. Her candid reflections reveal a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, as she strives to be the best version of herself for her children.
Throughout the conversation, Lucy's narrative is both heartbreaking and inspiring, offering listeners a powerful message of hope and the possibility of transformation. Her story underscores the importance of confronting past traumas and finding pathways to healing. The episode closes with Lucy expressing gratitude for her journey and the love she has for her children. She emphasizes the importance of self-love and the potential for change, inspiring listeners to pursue their own paths to recovery and personal growth.
