"Ik dacht dat het mijn eigen keuze was om te gebruiken!"

Addiction is like a cunning thief, stealing everything from you: your health, your family connections, your finances, your joy in life, and above all, your self-worth. When you're already struggling with damaged self-esteem and a lack of self-love due to traumatic experiences in your past, it feels like you're stuck on a bleak, hopeless path. In this podcast episode, Vanessa shares her heartbreaking story. At just sixteen, she fell into the trap of manipulative men, seeking the attention and validation she lacked at home. This led her into a relentless battle with addiction, where she lost all hope. Her courage to share her story with brutal honesty, now in recovery, is truly admirable. Listen and see how Vanessa's story reminds us that even the darkest path can ultimately lead to self-love and renewed self-worth.
