Description
“If you're struggling, reach out to someone you trust and tell them you need help. Even the smallest willingness to believe can spiral into a relationship with God that you didn't know was possible.”   In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am interviewing my guest Nicci Amendola to share her story of recovery. We start with her early fascination with alcohol and drugs, which spiraled into a full-blown addiction, leading to severe personal and familial consequences. She discusses losing custody of her children, multiple pregnancies while addicted, and the emotional turmoil she endured. We cover everything from the complexities of addiction, the struggle for recovery, to the importance of support systems.    Nicci’s testimony serves as a powerful testament to resilience and the transformative power of recovery.   Connect with Me on Instagram  @korileigh | @korileigh.co  Connect with Nicci on Instagram @nicci_ames   Episode Outline:  Nicci's Early Interest in Drugs and Alcohol (00:01:33)  The Downward Spiral (00:07:32)  Becoming a Mother and Relapse (00:15:50)  Reaching Rock Bottom (00:20:45)  Working with Others and Finding Purpose (00:40:48)  Building a Relationship with God (00:50:53)  Encouragement for the Struggling (00:56:18) If you enjoyed this episode please share with someone you love, leave a rating & review, and follow so you are notified when a new episode drops!   If you are in search of the steps towards recovery go to www.aa.org
