PAIN: Parents & Addicts in Need’s Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sat down with Michelle Curiel of @thesobrietyplaybook.
Michelle was in active alcoholism and drug addiction for 2.5 decades. Around the age of 37 she overdosed on what she thought was heroin, but it was actually fentanyl and she flatlined.
Michelle had just sold the keys to her apartment to a drug dealer and prior to overdosing at her parents house she was living on a trap house floor. She continued to relapse and was on deaths doorstep due to health issues that were compounded by her addiction.
With the help of the 12 step program and her higher power, she was able to get me sober and remain sober since August 8 of 2019.
Michelle has devoted her life to being of service to the sobriety community by creating sobriety and spiritual awakening content on YouTube , Instagram and TikTok. She teaches from the big book of alcoholics anonymous, the 12 steps and 12 traditions, the daily reflections, as Bill See’s it, Blessed and unstoppable, Buddhism and more.
Michelle states that she has found that a large percentage of people in recovery are very spiritually gifted, but they don't know how to harness their power. She is here to teach them how to do so.
