Far can be a shape-shifting word, just like this journey is shape-shifting.
How does one go from the chaos of addiction to the calm of sobriety? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Susan, a 46-year-old from Ohio, opens up about her journey to a booze-free life. After growing up in a tumultuous household where addiction was rampant, Susan found herself repeating the cycle she desperately wanted to escape. She turned to alcohol to cope with life's challenges, including the loss of a loved one and relationship struggles.
However, Susan's story isn't just about her struggles; it's about her triumphs. With nearly three years of sobriety under her belt, she shares how stepping out of her comfort zone and embracing a supportive community helped her find her footing. Susan's love for the outdoors, paddle boarding, and even Jeopardy became part of her healing process. Her tale is a reminder that sobriety is not a destination but a journey filled with patience, courage, and self-trust.
Tune in to hear how Susan learned to trust herself and define her own 'far' in life, proving that recovery is possible with the right mindset and support.
