I'm 7 years clean, my wife is 6 years clean. I've been held hostage, lost my son to the ministry, lost the cars, the house, the money, the business, my wife left to a life on the street where she spent 18 months escaping extreme domestic and gang violence. She ended up pregnant and clawed her way out, she had to escape for two now. we spent 5 years apart healing in recovery. we've been back together for 2 years now and after losing all, today, we closed on a home. I run this podcast full time thanks to a bunch of great organizations in my community. I have a life I never saw coming. its possible. It's an epic adventure. We can recover.

So proud of this woman for overcoming her addiction! I've struggled with an eating disorder and I know it can be hard to break something that feels so core to your being. Obviously I've never been through the sort of shit she has, so I'm not claiming that, but it's still so empowering to see someone who has overcome something so tough. So glad to see a story of optimism on this channel among all of the fentanyl death stories (which are of course important too, but it's good to see something uplifting).

A lot of people with substance abuse disorders have had or currently have eating disorders. Imo the addiction works in the same ways. I jumped from eating disorders to drugs to alcohol to all of the above and I think it's from my lack of self esteem and needed numbing and control. I wish you the best in your healing ❤

I'm sorry, but, I went through significantly more trauma than this, including having my innate potential suppressed to the point of lifelong emotional disability, becoming homeless due to the emotional damage caused by said damage. As a homeless person, I stood on street corners begging strangers for their spare change, dug in garbage dumpsters, stood on public heating grates while fighting winters deadly bid, and yet, never turned to drugs or alcohol. Why? Because, I knew that in the long run, it would only make things worse.
@tianalee4126
@tianalee4126 Месяц назад
@@lynnbaker2336this is such an ignorant comment. also why are you comparing trauma? your brain defines trauma and how deeply something affects you. it’s remarkable you never turned to drugs but not everyone has the choice to not make that choice. i started using because i was suicidal and i was going to kill myself if i couldn’t numb my thoughts. if i had to wait around to go to therapy or something i would’ve ended my life. it’s great you never started using but that’s why addiction is a disease that not everyone has. you never had the calling or the craving of substances you’ve never used bc it’s already in your genes waiting for you to introduce it to your body and brain. i’m sorry but this comment came off as super ignorant and dismissive of addiction and why ppl start using or what causes them to use.

I can not thank you enough for sharing your story. I relate SO MUCH with your journey. I feel so validated, less alone, and full of hope. Relapse is a part of many of the chapters in my story. I begin to do the work, begin to challenge the way I think, begin to heal, begin making friends in recovery, start building a new life only to then get off the path. I then of course begin again. It's so encouraging to hear these testimonies where people have had to fall a few times to really once and for all stand up. Hearing about your new beginning with your daughter is so touching. I am beyond thankful the universe guided me to your story tonight. ❤❤❤

She’s AWESOME! addictive personality can be a beautiful disaster …. there are NO breaks , boundaries, obstacles that you can’t traverse! Meaning if you’re on the right path of this disorder LIFE BETTER WATCH OUT ! because you kick’n ass and don’t have time for the names ! your full throttle and there is NOTHING short of a bullet that will stop you ! until your goals are DONE ! BUT ….. there’s the flip side of the tracks, the dark side ….of ….the …..tracks. Where as just like the the burning trail you can blaze DOING GOOD you can afflict just as much DAMAGE & HARM doing bad …. And unlike the good you can do the bad is NOT as easily fixable. And sometimes UN-FIXABLE unfortunately. Also the one of the saddest things about this disorder is the person knows the outcome but yet can’t help themselves out once the juggernaut is in motion. That’s why this woman’s story is that much more INCREDIBLE!!!!! I’m so amazed and honored she shared her story with us. This Channel really hits home in more ways than one. Thank you .

Thank you for sharing and amazing to see you where you are today. I've had substance issues for years, done a long time in prison and living in the madness. I went rehab in Nov 21, worked a 12 step program and got 6 months clean. Then I started doubting what I'd learn't, thinking I had a choice, and relapsed. I'm lonely, sad, and unhappy, seeing no end in sight to what I continue to do to myself, and I know I can't keep this up for much longer. Hopefully I'll find the strength to move forward, make the right choices, and get clean again sooner rather than later. I don't think I've quite given up on myself or why would I watch these amazing videos and shares? Again, thank you for your story and I wish you and your daughter all the very best for the future 🤗🤗🤗

Hey amazing esh, and an amazing woman with a pure soul. You have strenght and courage to pass on to suffering alcoholics/addicts. After 15 yrs of clean time i also relapsed into the crystal world and still there today. Don’t ask me why, i have no clue. I am grateful you are clean and i pray you and daughter will have a good life. Thank you for sharing, made my day. Ron R

I've been clean for 7 years... u can do it. It's hell... ngl. I got to the point where it was easy to get another high, but I ABSOLUTELY COULDN'T DO ONE MORE WITHDRAWAL... I would have rather died.

It's like anything else in life, u gotta want it!! We can make excuses and stories all day long, BUT one must taste it, make it a job. Bless those whom turned it around, we're all here for a purpose it's up to us what that is, stay strong and stay away from Negative people and places. Stay busy!💞

True sobriety is not about staying "strong", or staying "busy". In fact, the opposite. First, we "concede to our innermost selves that we are alcoholics". Second, we find peace when we are alone, with absolutely nothing going. We don't have to self destruct in the midst of chaos, or the complete lack of it! ✌️♥️ Mark
