The more I accept that I don't have control, the more free I am.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of addiction? In this episode of 'Recovery Captured', Shannon Louise sits down with Jillian Whalen to uncover her compelling journey. Jillian opens up about her early struggles, starting with prescription misuse and people-pleasing habits. While alcohol wasn’t initially her go-to, college life changed that, leading her down a path of heavy drinking and accumulating traumas.
Her story takes a turn for the better when she finds solace and support in a 12-step program and the Catamount Recovery Program at UVM. Meeting other students who were also on the path to sobriety made a world of difference for her. Through therapy and guidance from mentors, Jillian learned to build a relationship with a higher power and discovered the freedom that comes with letting go of control.
Her journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of fellowship and support in recovery. Tune in to hear how Jillian transformed her life and found peace, one step at a time.
