N atalie Price's journey to recovery at Mary Hall Freedom Village is a testament to the power of resilience and the unwavering support of a community dedicated to healing. From a young age, surrounded by a culture of alcohol and partying, Natalie internalized the harmful belief that substance abuse was normal. Her mother's lifestyle, where drinking and partying were the norm, shaped her perception of acceptable behavior. The stark reality of her situation began to dawn on Natalie at 15. Becoming a mother so young, coupled with her enrollment in Job Corps, offered a glimpse beyond the familiar patterns. The stark contrast between the structured environment of Job Corps and her previous life forced her to confront the unsustainable path she'd been on. Attending an AA meeting was a turning point, though not one she initially embraced. The lack of seriousness in her approach led to her dismissal from the program, a setback that ultimately propelled her down a dangerous path. By 17, Natalie was embroiled in the cycle of selling drugs and heavy drinking. She fell into a relationship with an older man who initially offered support, but the relationship quickly devolved into a harmful pattern of physical abuse. Pregnancy at that point caused her to slow down, but the underlying issues persisted until the physical abuse escalated. The abuse's impact was profound. This marked a turning point, driving her to seek help and ultimately leading her to Mary Hall Freedom Village. Natalie's story is a a struggle against societal norms, family patterns, and the insidious grip of addiction. At Mary Hall Freedom Village, Natalie has found a safe space to confront her past trauma, rebuild her life, and discover a new path towards sobriety and hope. The dedicated staff and supportive community at Mary Hall Freedom Village have provided her with the tools and resources she needs to heal and thrive. With continued commitment and support, Natalie is determined to build a brighter future for herself and her children. Her journey is far from over, but the foundation for a life free from addiction and abuse is being laid.
Please ask for help, I didn’t know it was out there. -Natalie Price
