Natasha’s Recovery Story: Natasha’s journey began in the Midwest, where she struggled with undiagnosed learning disabilities as a small town farm girl. The pain of not feeling “good enough” played on her self esteem in school, although she kept this struggle silent for years.
Later, in her teenage years, she experimented with drugs, and the craving for mind-altering substances set in. Her addiction led her into the fast-paced lifestyle of a New York model, and then manifested into full-blown alcoholism.  Natasha wanted to stop the madness of drinking and using, but couldn’t. This is when she realized she had a problem.  It took years for her to come to terms with the fact she couldn’t do it alone.

After stopping and starting again, and testing different ways of “trying” to drink safely, she surrendered in early 2003—for her son, not herself.  Almost 4 years of sobriety went by and Natasha gave birth to two more healthy children.  Then the desire to drink and use grew strong again. The illusion that “I’ve got this” came back into her mind, and she thought she could control it safely again. Six months later, on Aug. 5, 2008, she completely surrendered—which, by her definition, means she “moved to the winning side.” Now she has lasting sobriety and can be of service to others, because it is for herself. Natasha is now the mother, friend and woman she has always longed to be. To quote Natasha, “I am not ashamed,” she says. “I survived.”
