How Childhood Trauma Shaped Stony's World (Part 1)

Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠ It feels like an injustice to Stony's story to try and capture her life in one single interview.  From as early as she can remember, Stony's witnessed and been victim to violence and struggled with the presence of addiction in her family. Today In part 1, Stony talks about being sexually assaulted as a child from someone known to her, running a trap house and selling a commercial supply of drugs. Along the way, she faced domestic violence, an unwanted pregnancy and watched the beheading of someone. The common thread that ties all of these horrific events together, is drugs and alcohol.Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes of trauma, violence, substance abuse, assault and abortion.
