Emily's Journey: From Addiction to a Life Transformed

I believe it's part of the reason the addiction spiraled so far out of control, because, you know, I thought the alcohol and drugs were the only thing that kept me ok, but really they were what kept me from processing that, dealing with that.
Ever wondered if you're a good person who does bad things or a bad person who does good things? Emily's story might give you some perspective. In this heartfelt episode of 'Remember Your Why', Kristen sits down with Emily, a woman who almost lost everything due to addiction and mental health struggles. Emily opens up about her early life trauma and how it led her down a dark path.
She hit rock bottom but found the strength to turn her life around, becoming an inspiring example of recovery. Now, seven and a half years sober, Emily shares the pivotal moments that helped her reclaim her life. She emphasizes the importance of support and relationships in her journey and tackles the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health. Emily's story is a powerful reminder to remember your 'why' and never give up on your healing journey.
As she beautifully puts it, 'life is good, and it's fast and short and we have no idea when it's going to be over'. Tune in to hear Emily's inspiring tale of transformation.
