Conversations with Kim: Guest Stacy Part 1 - Ep #8

Show Notes: Today Stacy joins us to talk about her road to recovery.  She will share the obstacles she had when realizing she needed help and the struggles to find help.  Stacy spent most of her life avoiding addiction or so she thought.  During the pandemic she started drinking for medicinal purposes, but quickly turned into a full-blown addiction. Stacy knew she had a problem before she was willing to admit that she had a problem.  She began fighting with her husband more often.  The fighting was getting too much so she decided to visit her sister and take some time apart from her husband.  This is where Stacy took her first step to recovery of going to a few meetings.   She decided to go home back to her husband and let her employer know what was going on which led to her getting fired vs the help she needed.  This caused her to go back to her safe space of drinking heavily again. Stacy found two part time jobs, but still hid her drinking problem from all of those around her.  Stacy had a commitment that she needed to be at, but instead decided to go get a drink at a Mexican restaurant after already having some shots beforehand.  Stacy passed out at the table and when she woke up, she realized that she was late for the function and shouldn't go to it.  Stacy decided that she needed to get help, so she made a call to a treatment center saying she was on the way.  On that phone call they told her that isn't the process to get treatment.  They need to go through certain steps like make sure there is insurance, that there is room ect. Stacy did wait the 2-day window to go seek the treatment because she knew if she didn’t go get the help that she would die, and she didn’t want to do that.  Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to wait that time, or they lose the courage to do it. During the 2-day window of time before treatment, Stacy let her husband know via text that she is seeking help.  She let both jobs know that she won’t be returning and her new job she was supposed to be starting that she would be delayed due to medical treatment.  During this time, she also didn’t have another drink.  Stacy’s husband drove her to the treatment center. Tune in next week as we continue the conversation with Stacy on her road to recovery.Dont forget to  subscribe to our podcast and share it with your friends and family.
