I think that with everything that I've accomplished, I just I once I knocked out one goal, I set out for another one, and- and I think that's just the best feeling in the world- is to be able to look at where I was at then and where I am now.
Imagine battling a meth addiction for over a decade, losing custody of your children, and then finding the strength to turn your life around. That's exactly what Stephanie World did. In this gripping episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', hosted by the ever-insightful Randall Carlisle, Stephanie opens up about her harrowing journey through addiction and her relentless fight to regain custody of her three boys.
Hooked on meth at just 18, Stephanie spent 12 years in the throes of addiction before hitting rock bottom when DCFS took her children away. This wake-up call sparked her determination to change. Stephanie dives into the nitty-gritty of her recovery process, sharing how identifying thinking errors and using effective coping tools played a crucial role in her journey.
She credits Odyssey House's parenting and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) groups for equipping her with the skills she needed to reclaim her life and her family. Transitioning from a residential program back into the real world posed its own set of challenges, but Stephanie's story is one of resilience and unwavering resolve. Her candid reflections on self-care and setting achievable goals offer hope and inspiration to anyone grappling with addiction.
Randall Carlisle's empathetic interviewing style brings out the raw, unfiltered essence of Stephanie's story, making this episode a must-listen for those touched by addiction, either personally or through loved ones.
