I actually felt like I had a status or I had a place, because I'm this badass chick who will f**k you up.
Sophie G. takes listeners on a raw and unfiltered journey through her 16-year battle with addiction in this gripping episode of 'The Recovery Revolution'. Starting at just 13, Sophie’s descent began with smoking pot and quickly escalated to alcohol, Xanax, ecstasy, and cocaine by the age of 19. The loss of her boyfriend to cancer sent her spiraling further into chaos, leading to multiple arrests, stints in rehab, and eventually bankruptcy.
Her story isn't just about the dark side of addiction but also about the glimmer of hope that came through recovery. With almost two years clean, Sophie reflects on the transformative power of rehab and halfway houses, the pivotal role of a support system, and finding strength in a higher power. Her candid recounting of relapse struggles and eventual triumph offers a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
Sophie’s tale is both a cautionary story and an inspiring testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
