Addiction Talk

Addiction Talk: My Recovery Story

Madison shares her emotional journey from childhood trauma, to alcohol addiction, to nearly losing her ability to walk — to now almost 1,000 days sober. In this episode of My Recovery Story, Madison opens up about hitting rock bottom, facing the consequences of alcohol neuropathy, entering treatment at Greenhouse Treatment Center, experiencing healing physically and spiritually, and how surrender and faith changed everything.
She talks about transfer addiction after gastric bypass surgery, the moment she surrendered in detox, the support she received from women in treatment, and how recovery restored her ability to walk — and her relationship with her son.
If you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol misuse, Madison’s story is living proof that recovery is possible and healing is real.
