Andrea's Path: Balancing Silicon Valley and Sobriety

I felt every emotion that you could possibly feel. So, mind you, it's the tail end of my happy week and my sister and my oldest daughter were there for family day on Sunday and we had communication That Day and we all talked.
Ever wondered how someone can juggle a high-pressure job while battling addiction? Andrea's story is a gripping tale of resilience and determination. In this episode of 'Stories of Addiction', Andrea opens up about her struggle with drugs and alcohol, which began in her twenties. Despite having a successful career as an Executive Assistant in Silicon Valley, her addiction cost her dearly—she lost her marriage, her children, and even ended up living in her car for over a year.
But Andrea's journey doesn't end there. With just eleven days clean, she shares her raw and unfiltered experiences, from the depths of methamphetamine use to the turning point that led her to seek help. Andrea's candid discussion about group therapy and the emotional rollercoaster of recovery will resonate with anyone who's faced similar battles. Her story is a testament to the power of family support and the human spirit's ability to overcome even the toughest challenges.
If you're looking for a tale of hope and perseverance, Andrea's journey is a must-listen.
