Story #5: EK - From Self-Medicating Trauma to Sobriety is an Act of Radical Self-Love

from Recovery Demystified - Secular Addiction Recovery and Harm Reduction for Queers, Neurodivergent People, and Their Allies

In today's episode we hear EK's addiction recovery story. They describe seeing their family use alcohol and cigarettes while they were a kid. EK's drinking and use stopped being fun at a very young age, as they navigated survival through abusive relationships. They describe self medicating after reaching out for help with the pain of experiencing sexual assault and depression. After a close encounter with the law, they had an epiphany, and received some really good advice from friends, and started a journey towards sobriety.   Donate to our cause! https://gofund.me/be6d99f7 Venmo & Paypal: @recoverydemystified Instagram: @recoverydemystified Logo: Stevie Petet Theme song: Logan Bragg
