Down The Rabbit Hole with Carrie Burgess
Carrie Burgess is one of The SHAIR Network’s first members and has been active in the community ever since. If you have joined our Free SHAIR Facebook Group, then you have seen her around!
Carrie was a perfectionist who became addicted to alcohol, marijuana, and painkillers. Her addiction was so bad, she taught little girls dance class while intoxicated. She broke into her mother-in-law’s house to steal pills while carrying her baby son on her hip. Carrie started smoking synthetic marijuana until she didn’t know if she had been coming or going to work. She became a hollow shell that didn’t care about anything anymore.
Now Carrie is celebrating more than 5 years of sobriety and has learned to overcome the guilt and forgive herself for the wreckage and pain she caused while she was in active addiction. Listen to her story from zombie mom to her new life in sobriety!
