Story #28: Hana Part 2 - From A Homeless, Drug Addicted Sex Worker to Finding Hope While Being Held at Gunpoint

In this episode, Hana shares her raw and unflinching story of addiction, trauma, and survival. We dive into Part 2 of her story with a harrowing tale of being held at gunpoint by a drug dealer, followed by stories of a near-amputation, sex work, and homelessness in Seattle. She was in and out of jail and treatment. One day she heard another addict tell their story of addiction and recovery, and had a lightbulb moment. Recovery was possible for her. She found her path to sobriety and has been off drugs for 8 years. She now owns her own home and business, and gives special credit to her cat, Smash, the unsung hero of her story. This episode is for anyone seeking hope for their own addiction recovery, trauma recovery and healing, harm-reduction approaches, or alternative recovery paths. Hana's miraculous story is a testament to resilience, radical honesty, and the possibility of building a life worth living. Want to tell your story on this podcast?
