Do not drink or drug, no matter what, no matter what, don't do it, and that your life will get different and different will be better.
What does it take to turn a life of addiction into a compelling story of recovery? In this episode of 'The Recovery Revolution', Omar Pinto sits down with J.A. Wright, the author of 'How to Grow an Addict'. Wright's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest and later moving to New Zealand, she has been clean and sober since 1985.
With a career in the entertainment industry spanning various roles like festival director and concert promoter, Wright brings a unique perspective to her storytelling. Her novel, 'How to Grow an Addict', reads like a memoir and delves into the chaotic world of Randall Grange, a young girl navigating a family rife with addiction and abuse. Wright shares candid reflections on her spiritual awakening and the pivotal role of twelve-step recovery in her life.
She offers practical advice for newcomers to sobriety and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between work and recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Wright's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of sobriety.
