How I Stopped Digging my way to ”Rock Bottom” - Tamar Medford
Manage episode 289087267 series 2887483
Tribe Sober - inpiring an alcohol-free life!
My guest this week is Canadian author and life coach, Tamar Medford.
Since overcoming her own 20-year battle with drugs, alcohol and obesity in 2012, Tamar has dedicated her life to empowering others to reach their true potential.
In this Episode
- Although Tamar had a really happy childhood she went off the rails during her teenage years
- She remembers getting drunk at a party when she was 14 and feeling that the world had gone from black and white to colour
- She spent years chasing that feeling - and believes that those of us who become dependent experience a more intense high
- In her twenties she got into hard drugs which enabled her to drink even more - she saw herself as the "life and soul" of the party
- She got into addiction and yoyo dieting - eating too much fast food and putting on lots of weight
- She was married to an alcoholic - they drank lots of beers and vodka each evening - seeing it as the norm
- Tamar was at her lowest ebb and feeling suicidal when she decided she was going to make a change
- As she put it she decided to "stop digging" - rather than go on and reach her "rock bottom"
- With the help of her AA community Tamar managed to get clean and create a different life
- She created a personal vision "to empower others to live up to their potential" and everything she does aligns with this vision
- These days Tamar likes to push out of her comfort zone - believing that if she is not uncomfortable then she's not growing..
- When we get sober we have to "get comfortable with being uncomfortable" in order to discover who we really are
- Tamar was worried that she wouldn't be able to have any fun if she gave up drinking but in fact she has found purpose and joy
- She has used her life experience to help others reach their potential and has written a best selling book
- She is also a podcaster and a Life Coach - more info on www.theroadforward.ca
- Tamar's podcast is called "The Road to Health" and her book is "Hope Elevated"
