Elias and Stella: Finding Light in the Darkness of Addiction

And really, my goal in life I don't really have like these big dreams and goals.
Ever wondered how people manage to turn their lives around after years of battling addiction? In this episode of 'The Empty Chair', host Cole P. Welch Caffrey brings you the compelling stories of Elias and Stella. These two individuals have faced the harsh realities of alcoholism and come out the other side with renewed hope and purpose. Elias started drinking at a young age, leading to arrests, detox stays, and strained family relationships.
However, since getting sober in 2012, he's found joy in activities like disk golf, cooking, and even corporate finance. Stella's journey is equally gripping. A troubled teen who became a mother at 16, she turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with her chaotic life. Her story involves shattered relationships, lost jobs, and emotional wreckage, but she found her way to sobriety at 35. Now, she's rebuilding her life with the support of her family and faith.
This episode is a beacon for anyone struggling with addiction, highlighting the importance of family support, faith, and personal growth. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, Elias and Stella's stories offer hope and practical insights into the journey of recovery.
