From a very early age Natalie’s addiction had a powerful hold over her, and she was sent to two rehabs by the age of 17. Natalie experienced several attempts at sobriety, however following one major relapse, she faced a long prison sentence. She engaged with AA and began living a recovery programme . Natalie experienced the loss of two babies during pregnancy, and the connections she made with the women of AA supported her through these experiences. After 7 years sobriety from drugs and alcohol Natalie still battled with a food and sugar addiction and sex and love addiction. Sticking with the 12 step programme she discovered that 'service was the key.' She experienced a deep and dramatic transformation in her recovery. She is now free as she can ever be from her addictions and is living in Phuket in Thailand where she works as a transformational life coach to support others in their recovery.
