I have met people in my life now that I never, ever would have ever come in contact with - the most wonderful people, and actually I've been able to weed out of my life the stuff that's just toxic and not good.
Imagine running seven marathons while battling alcoholism. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater chat with Pam Rickard, who did just that. Pam shares her story of being a high-functioning alcoholic, managing to keep up appearances while struggling with addiction. Her journey took a dramatic turn after multiple DUI convictions landed her in jail, a wake-up call that led her to seek treatment and ultimately find recovery.
Now, Pam works with The Herren Project, helping others on their own paths to sobriety. With humor and honesty, she discusses the pivotal moments that changed her life, the role running has played in her recovery, and the incredible people she's met along the way. This episode isn't just about Pam's past; it's about the hope and resilience that come with recovery.
Laurie and Annie also highlight the invaluable support provided by Allies in Recovery, a resource for families navigating the challenges of a loved one's addiction. Whether you're seeking inspiration or practical advice, Pam's story offers both in spades.
