MP Celine – Actress - 6 Years Sober, Weed/Alcohol/Borderline Personality Disorder/Bulimia
Today I give you the story of Celine, a young female actress who - by a power greater than herself - found a way into recovery from complex, co-occurring disorders: borderline personality disorder, addiction, bulimia, and ADHD. Celine fell in love with weed, but it was alcohol that got her into trouble. No stranger to the dark side of addiction, Celine had a few wake up calls – stormy relationships, DUIs, suicide attempts, jails, hospitals, and psych wards – none of which were enough to convince her she had a problem with drugs or alcohol. Now at 31-years-old, with almost 6 years of sobriety, Celine recollects the vivid details of her experience and chronicles everything it took to pull back from the brink of an addiction that nearly eroded her life.
In today’s hyper-medicated, overstimulated, pleasure-saturated world, I believe that individuals like Celine, individuals with addiction who have found recovery, are modern-day prophets that we ignore to our own demise.
Celine’s descent into the throes of addiction and ultimate tale of redemption is a must-listen. We live in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli – drugs, sex, news, food, shopping, gambling, social media, the list is endless – everything has been "drugified:" made more potent, more novel, more abundant, more reinforcing. We’re living in a world that increasingly primes us all for the problem of addiction, and it is my hope that through these stories, people are able to see themselves, connect, relate, and perhaps find a modicum of peace with the compulsive overconsumption that afflicts many, if not all, of us. I hope that individuals currently suffering are inspired by a story of courage and hope that resonates so deeply, perhaps it even motivates them to stop using and finally seek help.
This podcast traverses difficult emotional terrain. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Please reach out for help and call SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357). If you are experiencing suicidal ideation, I encourage you to call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.
