“Little things I do throughout the day is making sure I have that positive self-talk. And just remember that it's temporary, this will pass and that it's not always going to be hard like this.”
Imagine facing more challenges by age 14 than most do in a lifetime. That's Danica Adams' story. In this compelling episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', host Marc Lee Shannon sits down with Danica, who opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction and trauma. Losing her sister to brain cancer at such a young age, becoming a teen mother, and later falling into drug use are just the beginning of her story.
What follows is a harrowing path involving human trafficking, domestic violence, multiple incarcerations, overdoses, homelessness, and prostitution. Despite these overwhelming obstacles, Danica found a way to turn her life around. She shares the pivotal moment that sparked her ongoing recovery and how she now dedicates her life to helping others as a peer recovery coach at Ohio Guidestone. Marc and Danica discuss the profound impact of peer support and the importance of positive self-talk in overcoming addiction.
This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community in recovery.
