What happens when the grip of addiction is stronger than even a mother’s love? In this episode, Hannah Till joins the Bare Knuckle Recovery team to share her raw and unfiltered story - from a seemingly ordinary childhood in Fort Wayne, to the spiral of substance use, abusive relationships, and the powerful, lingering shame that followed her through pregnancy and early motherhood. 

Hannah opens up about the moments that shaped her journey, the traumas she tried to numb, and the turning points that forced her to finally confront the truth about herself and her addiction.

Listen in as Hannah details the first time painkillers gave her the sense of belonging she always craved, how quickly recreational use turned into dependence, the devastating impact of being abruptly cut off from prescriptions, and the dangerous transition to street drugs during the opioid epidemic. 

She shares the heartbreak of using throughout her pregnancy, the judgment she felt from others - and herself - and the desperate attempts to seek help when shame felt insurmountable. 

Hannah’s story is a testament to how addiction distorts self-worth, complicates relationships, and how the journey to recovery is rarely straightforward.

If you’re struggling with addiction, especially as a parent or someone carrying the weight of guilt and trauma, Hannah’s vulnerability will resonate deeply.
