The Lightbulb Moment

On this episode of Talksicology, Joseph sits down with Tina Courtney whose journey to recovery is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation. Unlike many stories, Tina describes her childhood as happy, loving, and with no history of addiction and mental illness. However, the traumatic events of her parent’s divorce, her mother’s unexpected death, and the feeling of always being different propelled her to find acceptance and belonging in substance use.

We navigate through crucial points in Tina’s life, including her arrest for forging prescriptions, her challenging journey through divorce while in treatment, the heart-wrenching decision to give up custody of her twins, and the impactful conversation with one of her daughters that became a turning point in her recovery.
