I never dreamed that this life was possible for me, and I think partly because I didn't think that I was worthy or deserving of the life that I have Today. I know what this is like and I made it through this successfully.
Sonya Johnson's story is one of those that sticks with you long after you've heard it. On this episode of 'Salty Moms Gone Sober', Sonya opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction and the incredible path she took to recovery.

She speaks candidly about the heartbreak of losing custody of her children and the overwhelming shame that came with it. But Sonya's tale isn't just about the lows; it's also about the climb back up. She found strength in community and support, connecting with others who understood her struggles. This sense of belonging played a crucial role in her recovery. Sonya also touches on the importance of self-worth and setting boundaries to protect oneself from falling back into old habits.
Relapse, she explains, is a part of many recovery journeys, and she emphasizes the need for self-compassion and forgiveness when it happens. Rebuilding relationships with loved ones was another significant step in her healing process. Through it all, Sonya's story is a beacon of hope, showing that no matter how dark things get, there is always a way out.
