Sobertown Podcast EP 253: Mary HummingbirdsAppitite’s Recovery Story
Mary AKA HummingbirdsAppetite tells her Story to Viv AKA "Sober I Thrive"
Mary AKA HummingbirdsAppetite tells the story of her journey from addiction to recovery. Suffering from childhood panic attacks and mental compulsions due to OCD led Mary to discovering self harm, alcohol, and drugs as coping mechanisms at a young age. She learned to put on a high functioning mask by earning good grades and maintaining the status quo. She has endured multiple tragedies throughout her life including the death of her parents, her beloved sister as well as friends and loved ones which pushed her further into her addictions.
After seeing how the negative behaviors that she was exhibiting were manifesting in her young daughter, Mary began to understand the error of her ways. She fought through her grief, guilt and shame to educate herself about addiction and build a sobriety toolbox for herself to end the cycle of addiction in her family. This research brought her to IAS where she has crafted her own recovery program and, through inspiration from Sobertown, has become committed to giving back to the community with her graphic design expertise.
Mary has become a huge part of the Sobertown village and is helping us create more resources on the back end of the Sobertownpodcast.com website. Mary also gives back helping other Sober communities other than Sobertown.
Thank you Mary for all you're dong for all of us!! Thank you for sharing your amazing journey and being so vulnerable!! You're absolutely an amazing Sober Warrior!!
