“Yes there are 2 paths you can go on, but in the long run, there’s still time to change the road you’re on.” —led zeppelin. Haven't we all wondered what life would be like if we had made other choices? Haven't we all felt, at times, a little like Dr. Jekyl, Mr. Hide? S Amanda Marshall (Amie), former US Attorney for the District of Oregon turned lawyer for those of us who've hit our bottoms, been accused of doing perhaps worse, and those of us who need a true believer in our court, tells how her whole life aimed toward greatness, reached a fever pitch, and came crashing down all around her. Alcohol. Anxiety. Terrible mistakes. They nearly cost her her career, and nearly cost her family and her sanity. But when there is an inkling of willingness to be pulled out of the pit of despair, a surrender to what is, and when one alcoholic identifies with another and believes for a moment that even they can be helped, the magic happens. And that is what happened to Amie Marshall. We talk about what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now. And how surrender and humility combined with a willingness to believe and a whole lot of hard work, mindfulness, and self-care restored Amie to a woman of hope, a woman who gives, and a woman who is kind to others, to self, and who helps others climb out of the pit of despair and back into a life worth living.More About Amanda (Amie)https://maclaw.lawFor help with alcohol and addiction and mental health issues for yourself or a family or friendAlcoholics Anonymous: https://www.aa.orgAlanon for family and friends: https://al-anon.orgNational Institute of Health Alcohol Treatment Finder: https://alcoholtreatment.niaaa.nih.govNational Mental Health Hotline: https://mentalhealthhotline.org or call 866-903-3787SAMHSA Substaance Use Treatment & Behavioral Health Treatment Finder: https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melissa060/support Find out more about Melissa, breathwork, mindfulness and somatic coaching for individuals and organizations at:
