Manage episode 424065089 series 3564297
“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.
