Everyone is Addicted

A podcast I wanted to share because it has some really good information for those trying to understand addiction.

#Awareness #RecoveryIsPossible #FamilyRelationships #StrengthInFait Holley thought getting sober—and staying sober—would be the hardest part of her journey. But the last 6 years have proven otherwise. Her ex-husband, now remarried, does everything he can to keep Holley from her daughter. This is every mother’s worst fear realized—having your only child taken away. He uses her past against her at every opportunity, weaponizing it to maintain distance between mother and daughter. She can’t afford the kind of attorney it would take to truly fight back. So she keeps trying—relentlessly. Every day, the questions loop through her mind: *Is my daughter okay? Is she happy?* Through it all, Holley has remained sober. AA meetings keep her grounded, but it’s her daughter who gives her the strength to keep going. She knows that if she slips up, she may never see her again. That fear—and that hope—drives her. This is a fight she will never stop fighting. No matter how much her ex tries to hurt her, she will never give up. Because love like that doesn’t quit. **Stay tuned—Holley is starting her own podcast, *Sanish*, coming soon.** More info and support: [www.alcoholicsanonymous.com](http://www.alcoholicsanonymous.com)

Sarah’s journey is one of incredible resilience and transformation. Having faced profound trauma, she spent most of her life trapped in fight-or-flight mode, where every moment felt like a battle. The weight of it all pushed her into unhealthy coping mechanisms — drinking, overworking herself, and binge eating — a vicious cycle that only deepened her pain. But through relentless determination and a commitment to healing, Sarah found hope in an unexpected place. In the video, Sarah shares her deeply personal experience with a New Therapy, describing it as life-changing. It gave her the peace and clarity she had longed for, helping her break free from the cycle that had controlled her for so long. She speaks with raw emotion, explaining how the therapy works and the profound impact it’s had on her ability to reconnect with herself and her life. For anyone struggling with similar challenges, Sarah encourages you to explore this Therapy. With clinics available around the world, this treatment could be the key to healing for many who are searching for a way out of their own darkness. Sarah’s dream is to publish her memoir, *God is my Sugar Daddy*, where she hopes to share her story of survival and strength with the world. If you feel inspired by her journey or believe you can help her reach this goal, please reach out to her. Your support could help turn her dream into a reality, and you might just be part of a much larger story of hope and healing.
