From Rock Bottom to Recovery: Why it’s necessary to hit rock bottom.

Episode 50: Happy Birthday to The Hope Chase! Our first anniversary!! It’s officially been 1 year. For this weeks episode, in honor of our birthday, Angie has repurposed the very first episode that was published. Rock bottom versus consequences. Are they the same? Is it necessary to hit rock bottom in order to find recovery? Can you truly recover without experiencing any “real life” consequences from your addiction? What’s the difference? This week Angie shares her own personal rock bottom story, what her life looked like and how it took nearly 20 years of active addiction & experiencing consequences before hitting her actual bottom. She also gives her perspective on why it’s necessary to hit rock bottom in order to recover from addiction. Consequences & rock bottom are not synonymous. It is possible to find recovery without experiencing consequences but highly unlikely if you haven’t hit rock bottom. And in this episode, Angie explains why. If you just started your healing & recovery journey or have been in it for year, this episode has helpful insights that you & your journey will benefit from. Thank you so much for joining the Hope chase :) ox
