Hospice Nurse Julie On Sobriety After 20 Years Of Drinking and Using
Check out the latest podcast episode of The Courage to Change “Hospice Nurse Julie On Sobriety After 20 Years Of Drinking and Using”. Episodes come out every Tuesday at 12am PT everywhere you listen to podcasts.
Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden (@hospicenursejulie ) grew up in a normal 80s childhood, but obsessive thoughts plagued her from a young age. The people around her constantly asked “why can’t you relax?” And she immediately internalized the idea that there was something wrong with her.
At 13, she found alcohol and the thoughts would go away. It became her first tool to manage her obsessive compulsive anxiety. Now she knew how to keep things together, but she needed alcohol.
In college she kept the facade going even when she’d evolved to a daily heroin user. As things got darker and darker she told herself she wasn’t any worse off than anyone else. But in the back of her mind she knew there was something wrong.
She was able to get off heroin and told herself getting off that single substance would solve her problems. Her problems continued as she drank and used drugs through nursing school and as she began her career. Even with all the partying she could always keep the wheels on.
Then things became more and more problematic and she felt like she needed to change. She moved to California with a vow to change her life. But attempt after attempt failed until she finally found lasting recovery.
Today, Julie works in Hospice care and has a successful TikTok channel with over a million followers.

    Helvete jag måste läsa anneke lucas bok a quest for Love. Även om det kommer att bli förbannat svårt. Men då kanske jag blir bättre på att läsa engelska. PS jag har läst 1984 av George Orwell dock på svenska. Den var svår att ta sig igenom.

    Då jag var 6 år gammal så hade jag redan varit med pappa på hans företag som jobbade inom fordons industrin. Pappa lät mig prova allt möjligt. Allt som har att göra med en metall verkstad. Svetsa. Montera metall bearbetning. Det visade sig snabbt att jag hade TALLANG för mycket. Väldigt mycket som pappa ansåg som tråkigt. Jag älskade verkligen mina sinnessjuka timmar med pappa. Jag har insett att jag var extremt lyckligt lottad men min skolgång var svår och jag tvingades utstå avundsjuk framför allt på högstadiet och den yrkesutbildning jag gick.

    I heard a story where the actual biological mother was killed and then replaced with a look alike while child was to young to know it was not their biological mother. This would explain the total disconnect mother and daughter the child would never know unless mother confessed. I wonder if this is the case?

    The more shaddow work is done - the more clarity and understanding happenes and one sees parts of "Anneke's preditor" is oneself. If you think of yourself "I would never do it" you are still in denial and ignorence about yourself and your Self. . This world is ego's playground of seperation: this is what we do and how we play: we trade and want sth from one another all the time and "love" is just attachment most of the time. It takes time and some maturity to grasp. We are all satanist (egoist), it is just a matter of degree and clarity about it. We are the problem and we are the solution.

    😢To have others push their trauma onto u is a very heavy burden to bear and very unfair. I think God made Anneke one of those people who can handle all of this and come out the other side still fighting for her sanity and mental health. And she has grown to want to help others now to pursue their own freedoms from these horrors.

    I'll admit that I approached this story with complete skepticism. Unfortunately, there are conspiracies that are fabricated regarding underground P3d0 networks, which creates disbelief for the atrocities that many people have actually faced. Anneke's story is so disturbing that it's hard to believe there are such monsters in this world. Although I'll never know for sure if this happened as I was not there, I feel that Anneke is truthful, and I ache thinking about the worst nightmare she lived in full reality.

    10:14 they have no access to it because power is fake and not allowed in the divine world. A metaphor would be the earth element, a stone makes you float upwards, not immerse yourself in the waters. To change this, they'd have to kill their own power but most humans survive with it 🤡

    She's amazing in many ways, it's beyond belief that a child could survive all these abuses and later on have a normal functioning life after all. She is doing an incredible job understanding and talking about these topics and helping other victims. I've never heard such a profound comprehension of psychopathy. It felt good to be able to understand that these "monsters" are very damaged individuals themselves and that they are mainly reenacting what happened to themselves and trying to get some kind of freedom, liberation, togetherness, spiritual feeling, etc.. even if they are taking the wrong path but that just points to how much damaged and disconnected from themselves they are.

      It takes a lot of courage to tell one’s truth, especially when it alleges of elite pedophile rings. I have been hearing rumors about politicians participating in such awful things, but I couldn’t imagine that people can be so depraved. It wasn’t until the Epstein scandal until I understood that it is possible. It is awful. I think that this is how the ultra rich bond and insure that they won’t turn on each other. One can’t go accusing other of such evil things without giving oneself away. It is appalling that people can be so despicable. I believe her Must have been so hard. I am so sorry , Anneke that you had to suffer all this.

    The gangster she talks about did not lose his life because of rescuing her. He was a famous gangster in Belgium, and he died when she was already 30. I don't know why Anneke lies about this...There are many other holes in her story.

    • @metri0n
      @metri0n 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dude yeah... I'm surprised no one has scrutinized her more... There are many many holes in her story. The part that got me was the whole ACTUAL DEVIL WORSHIP. Here's the thing... Most people who are satanist are laveyean satanists meaning they are just athiests with a certain philosophy. They are skeptics who don't believe in god or satan. THEISTIC SATANISTS are the people who believe there is a devil and supposedly worship him. But those people are super few and far between. We are talking satanic panic type of fear mongering when we start talking theistic satanism. End of the day, there are actually very very few people who actually worship a supernatural being called satan and the ones who do are mad schizo and not smart enough to pull off the bullshit she claims they have

    It’s all about Lucifer. They worship him and they love him and all of this is to him. In exchange for fleshly power they are spiritually dead. They can murder children because their consciences are completely dead and they’re no longer human, are given over to demonic spirits - they are walking dead, demons in human flesh.

    As someone who’s currently still in the battle, hearing both of your stories motivates me a lot.. sometimes it’s too easy to feel as if there’s no point of getting to the other side.. no possible way to win this fight & get through it.. & feeling so alone, not even recognizing yourself.. it just helps to know other people have been just as low & alone as I have, & have beat it, & are on the other side & doing so good..

    It is not the healthy that need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners… But go and find out what this means, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” He already sees all of it. It’s still so scary to admit the brokenness. But there’s a welcome to be open, honest, broken, and a promise of mercy.
