The Enlightened Lens

Overcoming Addiction with Chelsie

Averie Season 2 Episode 5

In today's episode, I had to honor of having my older sister on the podcast. The reason I wanted to bring Chelsie on is to share her story about her struggles with addiction. 

Addiction is a topic in our society that people deliberately avoid and hide from the world. However, addiction is a pandemic that works its powers no matter what race, gender, economic status, etc. Sharing stories is a component of the recovery community so I wanted to bring Chelsie's story to the forefront to discuss topics like relapse, family grief, how to handle certain scenarios with addicts and share a bit of advice. 

This conversation brings in the voice of the addict themselves and also my perspective, which is a family member to someone who suffers from addiction. 

I share my pride in being a part of her village, and I hope this conversation brings in a fresh perspective and normalizes this type of conversation instead of shying away from it. 

If you have any questions or want to reach out, please do!

Thanks again for listening!
