When I got sober, I didn't know if I could ever be happy, and I'm so happy now in my life. It's not what I imagined or what I pictured.
Ever felt like you just don't fit in? Jenn did, and her story is one of transformation from a rebellious teen to a dedicated advocate for those in recovery. Hosted by David Lewry, this episode of 'Voices In Recovery' takes you through Jenn's life, starting with the major changes she faced at a young age. These changes led to feelings of isolation and a turbulent adolescence.
Despite knocking on the door of recovery early on, it wasn't until she went through an adolescent-focused recovery treatment center that she found her footing. Jenn now spends her professional and personal time helping some of the most vulnerable people, showing that recovery is not just about overcoming addiction but also about giving back. She opens up about dealing with shame and depression and how service and support have brought her happiness and peace.
One of the most touching moments is when Jenn reflects on her life in sobriety, saying, 'When I got sober, I didn't know if I could ever be happy, and I'm so happy now in my life. It's not what I imagined or what I pictured'. Her story is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of recovery and the importance of community and service.
If you're struggling with addiction or mental health issues, or know someone who is, Jenn's journey offers hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear her inspiring story and find out how she turned her life around.
