What happens when the person who helps others with addiction develops an addiction of their own?
In this episode, we check back in with Hillary, an addictions counselor who came to us a year ago while struggling with a shopping addiction. The past year has been one of profound loss and grief for her, and she found herself falling back into old patterns and isolating herself.
Addictions are a way to distract ourselves from pain. Connection is an antidote to both pain and shame.
Hillary's path through this a year later is so inspiring.
Have you used shopping, alcohol, drama, anything as a distraction from pain? Share your story in the comments.
