Your brain is very, very good at control, and what I wanted to just highlight real quick is that you are a person who is phenomenal at this art of emotional control and you are no match for alcohol.
Imagine being born so tiny that doctors didn't expect you to survive, and then growing up unable to feel physical pain. Lesa Thomas's life has been a rollercoaster of challenges, from severe childhood neglect to battling addiction. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Lesa opens up about her extraordinary journey and how she found hope through online treatment. Lesa's story is anything but ordinary.
Born at just 3lbs 6oz, she defied the odds from the very beginning. But life wasn't kind—neglect and trauma marked her early years, leading her to develop an unusual condition where she feels almost no physical pain. To cope with her emotional turmoil, Lesa turned to alcohol. However, her path took a transformative turn in early 2020 when she discovered Lionrock Recovery.
Now living in Texas with her spouse of over 33 years and their three children, Lesa has found a new lease on life. She works from home, enjoys nature, and finds joy in simple pleasures like cooking and gardening. Lesa's story highlights the importance of emotional control in recovery and sheds light on the unique struggles faced by the deaf community in addiction and recovery. Her experience underscores how online treatment can be a lifeline for those who feel isolated.
Tune in to hear Lesa's inspiring tale of resilience and learn how she turned her life around with the support of an online community.
