I had to trust and believe in the fact that there was purpose in this, like my god is not a punishing god, and so I couldn't imagine that he would take my son for nothing.
How do you pick up the pieces after the unthinkable happens? Sarah Campos faced this question when she lost her 8-year-old son, a tragedy that sent her into a downward spiral of alcoholism. Raised in Southern California and now a mother to Jaxon, Alesa, and Ford, Sarah's life took a dramatic turn as she tried to numb her overwhelming pain with alcohol.
In this heart-wrenching episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Sarah opens up about her journey from devastation to healing. With a background in business and a career as a hairdresser, Sarah found herself at rock bottom, eventually ending up in detox. It was through the support of AA and Al-Anon that she began to rebuild her life. Sarah's story is one of resilience and the transformative power of community.
She shares how she has learned to live imperfectly but free from addiction, honoring her son's memory through the love she gives to his siblings. This episode touches on essential themes like coping with trauma, the importance of therapy, and finding purpose in the face of tragedy. Sarah emphasizes the crucial role of support groups and the strength she found in trusting a higher power.
Her journey is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for recovery and a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is hope.
