In addition to her addiction, Glenn also suffered from severe mental illness. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and PTSD. These conditions made it even harder for her to break free from her addiction.
For years, Glenn struggled to get clean. She went to rehab several times, but always relapsed. She lost everything - her job, her apartment, her relationships. She was homeless and living on the streets.
But even at her lowest point, Glenn never gave up on herself. She knew that she had to keep fighting, no matter how hard it was.
In 2014, Glenn finally found the help she needed. She went to a long-term residential treatment program, and this time, she was determined to stay sober.
Glenn spent two years in treatment, working hard on her recovery. She learned how to manage her mental illness, she developed coping mechanisms for her addiction, and she built a support system of people who believed in her.
In 2016, Glenn graduated from treatment and moved back into the community. She has been sober ever since.
Glenn's recovery is a testament to the power of perseverance. She never gave up on herself, even when it seemed like all hope was lost. She fought hard for her recovery, and she won.
Glenn's story is an inspiration to anyone who is struggling with addiction or mental illness. It is a reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how difficult it may seem.
The Importance of Sharing Our Stories
Glenn's decision to share her story is an act of courage. She is using her voice to help others who are struggling with addiction and mental illness.
By sharing her story, Glenn is helping to break down the stigma surrounding addiction and mental illness. She is showing others that it is possible to recover, and she is giving them hope.
Glenn's story is a reminder that we are all connected. We all have our own stories to tell, and by sharing them, we can help each other to heal.
