Shannon's Journey: From Casino Life to Recovery and Wholeness

God has completely restored myself and my life and my son's life, and I know that it's not the end, and that's like what I really want to get across to people.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of Above & Beyond Recovery, Shannon takes us through her gripping journey from addiction to finding wholeness. Her story starts at Harrah's casino, where a seemingly harmless introduction to Percocets quickly spiraled into a full-blown heroin addiction. Imagine the despair of stealing from family just to feed a habit.
But Shannon's tale isn't just about the dark times; it's about the light she found at the end of the tunnel. She opens up about the devastating impact her addiction had on her relationships and the heavy burden of shame and guilt she carried. Yet, through faith and setting firm boundaries, she discovered a path to recovery. Shannon’s message is clear: being present in the moment and trusting that everything happens for a reason can lead to profound healing.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it. Dive in to hear Shannon’s inspiring story and find out what it truly means to achieve wholeness in recovery.
