My guest today talks about what it was like growing up in a pretty normal household. Eventually her parents divorced which resulted in life as she knew it changing pretty quickly.
She eventually ended up progressing in her disease where she forged checks eventually ending up in jail with her first felony as a result of her mother pressing charges. At the time it may have seemed harsh, but was exactly what she needed.
In and out of jail did nothing in terms of stopping the addiction. She is now heavily involved in service work, attends meetings regularly, and is a shining example of what recovery and sobriety look like.
