Let Me Rewind: Jamie & Mariah Lynam
Manage episode 452245276 series 3303932
Born and raised in California, Jamie said she had a good childhood from what she can remember. At just a few years old, her parents divorced which led to Jamie being raised alone by her mother. From a young age, Jamie identifies her addiction to substances really started with cigarettes following a very traumatic event. While cigarettes and alcohol use were very normalized in her home, Jamie recalls both her absent father and subsequent stepfathers struggled with drug addiction. As she describes a childhood plagued with watching her mother go from one abusive relationship to another, it was tumultuous for her to navigate. As a young adult when Jamie started experimenting with cocaine, she said from that moment on she was “chasing the drug.” From there, she went to college, found herself entering the workforce as a functioning addict, leaving one unhealthy relationship and entering a new one while her life was becoming unmanageable. For the first time in years, Jamie was able to regain her sobriety when she found out she was pregnant with her daughter, Mariah. For a few years, Jamie remained sober as she parented with the help of her mother. Jamie describes her journey through addiction and ultimately nearly a decade in federal prison. Her incredible daughter, Mariah, joined the podcast episode unsure of how much, or if she would join the discussion. To witness Mariah and Jamie’s bond, rewinding back to the past to learn how they got here today, is nothing short of inspiring. Jamie and Mariah, we wish you the very best!
