As a guest on the Chillout Podcast with TomandTracy, I shared my story of recovery from addiction. I talked about the struggles, the moments of despair, and the moments of hope that kept me going. I also spoke of how I found solace in art--it was more than just a hobby for me; it was a way to express my emotions, my story without words.
But my appearance on the podcast was more than just another story of addiction and recovery--it was about the power of hope and the potential for art to be a saving grace. With this story, I wanted to inspire listeners and give them the courage to chart their own paths of recovery.
I hoped the listeners were just as invested and ready to explore the possibilities of life after addiction as I shared my own journey. After my own recovery, I now give back to my community by providing nights and weekends outreach to people experiencing homelessness. As someone with lived experience, I know the power of shared hope.
Hope has the power to transform our lives, to take us from moments of despair to moments of joy. That's why I'm so passionate about sharing my story and helping others find hope in their own recovery journey.
I was invited to come back on March 1, 2023. You can listen to the first episode on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3xYCTfF
