65. Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight

from Bottomless to Sober Hosted by Jessica Dueñas

In this episode: Imagine being at the pinnacle of your career, celebrated as Kentucky State Teacher of the Year, while secretly battling severe addiction. That's the reality I faced, living a double life until a car accident shattered my illusions and forced me to confront my need for recovery. Inspired by Paulo Coelho's wisdom, "The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight," I share my tumultuous journey through multiple treatment stints over 14 months, debunking the myth that recovery is a simple, linear path. Join me as I open up about the painful truths and the resilience needed to continually rise after each fall.
