It's a total story of redemption, and the thing that gets me is because I'm feeling it right now in my recovery, is that I remember after the accident and thinking to myself, my life will be forever changed, and I was going to be content if my life was never happy again.
Imagine growing up in a small town, becoming a parent as a teenager, and then finding yourself caught in the grip of addiction. That’s the reality Portia Louder faced, and she shares her compelling story on this episode of Project Recovery. Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley sit down with Portia to unpack her journey from early life challenges to overcoming a physical dependency on pain pills in her twenties.
Things took a darker turn when she experimented with meth, leading to a downward spiral that culminated in a seven-year prison sentence for mortgage fraud. But Portia’s story is far from just one of hardship. It's also about resilience and transformation. She talks candidly about meeting the love of her life and making the heart-wrenching decision to give her child up for adoption—a choice that became a pivotal moment in her journey toward recovery.
While in prison, Portia found the strength to take ownership of her life, diving into therapy and self-reflection. Now, Portia is a beacon of hope for others struggling with addiction. She openly discusses how she rebuilt her life and found freedom through personal accountability and support systems. Her story is a testament to the power of redemption and the belief that it's never too late to start anew.
Tune in to hear Portia's incredible journey and be inspired by her unwavering determination to turn her life around.
