In this episode of Linda's Corner, we discuss addiction recovery for women. Where does addiction come from? Why to people relapse? And how can I heal and truly become free? Guest Patti Clark is the award winning author of "This way Up" and "Recovery Road Trip." She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe and more. You can reach Patti at her website https://www.patticlark.org

Some of the highlights Patti shares:

• What is "drunkorexia" and how is it a growing problem?
• The source of addiction is trauma
• Addiction is an attempt to sooth our pain
• Don't ask 'why the addiction?' ask 'why the pain?'
• What are you trying to avoid or escape from?
• Patti's personal story of growing up with an alcoholic mother whose consumption eventually killed her
• Why she started drinking and using drugs as a young teenager
• Searching for motivation that works. "I'm going to die," "I don't want to be like my mother," "I don't want to lose my husband," and "I want to be a good mother for my children," are all worthy motives, but none of them was enough. It wasn't until Patti decided, "I want this and I'm worth it," that real lasting change began
• Why people relapse
• Why recovering addicts often search for another addiction
• When a person becomes sober they have to face the pain they were trying to avoid in the first place
• We have to do the work to heal the underlying trauma
• What is on the other side is so much better. It is worth it!!!
• We need to learn to love ourselves
• We need to learn to value ourselves
• We need to trust that we are worthy to take up space
• And more
