Toni Becker | Anorexia, Body Dysmorphia, Meth, Recovery, Sobriety, Hope and Tattoos - a podcast by KDD Media Company

Growing up, Toni Becker felt intimidated by her family. They were all so beautiful, and Toni felt the pressure to live up to those standards. She always felt like the black sheep&this led to her body dysmorphia&eating disorders early on in her life.

Things started getting out of control in high school, where she felt pressured by her classmates and the media for encouraging the super-thin supermodel look of the early 2000s. She was young&seeking attention, and this naivety fueled her desire to look attractive at all costs. She thought that she could control it, but quickly she realized she couldn't&needed help.

In college, she started experimenting with meth and a drug called "cat" After trying to run her friends over&ending up on a golf course, she went into rehab for the first time. She thought she had it handled, but her father knew she wouldn't commit. He sent her to a real rehab, where she couldn't leave, and finally accepted it and got some help. She lived in a halfway house, and a sober living facility for 2 years and this really helped her stay sober. Now, she's become a sponsor herself&is taking it one day at a time, wanting to share her story to help others.

She realized one day while getting coffee with her friends, "Why don't we start a YouTube channel&share our stories?" And since then, she has been on a mission to destigmatize anorexia, body dysmorphia, bulimia&all the disorders associated with it. She wants to start a discussion&get help for whoever may need it.
