EP 253: Mary HummingbirdsAppetite’s Recovery Story
Guest: Mary aka HummingBirdsAppetite
Host: Viv, aka Sober iThrive
About our guest: Mary, aka @HummingBirdsAppetite
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 discover self-harm, alcohol, and drugs as coping mechanisms at a young age. She learned to wear a high-functioning mask by earning good grades and maintaining the status quo. She has endured multiple tragedies throughout her life, including the deaths of her parents, her beloved sister, and 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 to end the addiction cycle 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 by helping other Sober communities other than Sobertown.
Thank you, Mary, for all you're doing for all of us!! Thank you for sharing your amazing journey and being so vulnerable!! You're absolutely an amazing Sober Warrior!
