Episode Synopsis

"One Day I Decided... If I wanted my life to be different, nobody else could change it but me."

Hi friends!
 Well here it is, your host for ODID's Amanda's story. I thought this would be a fitting launch today considering it is 7 years off of alcohol on this day and 9 years off of drugs and substances a month ago for me :). 
Thank you for listening to my podcast and being advocates for mental health and addiction recovery.
 My story is a one that starts with a creative, lost, confused, adoptee that deals with depression, anxiety, drug addiction and trauma. I found my pathway to recovery and started making real progress once I put the alcohol down, stripped myself of substances and self medicating and found true self love, hope and gratitude. As you know our stories told by us are personal, and only emphasize our own experiences. Through self work in recovery on mind, body, spirit connection I found my diagnosis I described in this episode as void and found a life living substance, panic attacks, and medication free. Listen to how my life changed from darkness to striving for the light I always had within. Please reach out with questions or comments to our email [email protected]

SO EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON!!! 
Thanks for listening, break the stigma, and remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
