I had to be stripped of all of my resources, right like I had to have nothing left, and that deflation of ego definitely had to happen as well.

In this episode of 'Sober Shares', Stephanie opens up about her path to sobriety, the quest for faith, and the challenges she faces as a single mother. Her journey is a compelling mix of personal struggles and triumphs that will resonate deeply with listeners.
From her early days of exploring various faiths to fill what she describes as a 'God-shaped hole', to her eventual discovery of sobriety as the true answer, Stephanie’s narrative is both relatable and inspiring. She delves into the nitty-gritty of step one in recovery, offering practical insights on how young people can navigate the hurdles of staying sober while hustling to survive in the real world.
One of her most poignant reflections is on the importance of being present for her family, a stark contrast to her past absences due to addiction. Stephanie also tackles the often-taboo topics of dating and sex in sobriety, shedding light on how recovery literature can guide individuals through these aspects of life.
