I don't have to let this control me anymore, and that's a really cool process.
Imagine growing up in a picturesque Hawaiian paradise, only to find yourself grappling with unexpected twists and turns that life throws your way. This is Lisa's story. As an alumna of Brighton Recovery Center, Lisa has navigated through the choppy waters of addiction and emerged stronger, thanks to the unwavering support of a community she now calls home. Lisa's journey began in a seemingly perfect family, where the pressure to excel and earn love was ever-present.
Her religious upbringing further compounded this mindset, making her believe that achievements were the key to acceptance. But life had other plans. A traumatic incident during her college years sent her spiraling into the depths of addiction and self-destruction. Seeking help at Brighton Recovery Center was a turning point for Lisa. Here, she found not just a treatment program but a community that embraced her with open arms.
Through consistent participation in the alumni program, Lisa forged meaningful friendships and discovered numerous ways to support newcomers on their own recovery journeys. The path to recovery wasn't easy. Leaving the safe confines of the recovery center posed its own set of challenges. However, armed with self-care practices, personal accountability, and the support of her peers, Lisa was ready to face the world anew. Her story underscores the power of community and the resilience of the human spirit.
Lisa's tale is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. It shows that with the right support system and a commitment to self-improvement, it's possible to overcome even the darkest chapters of life. Tune in to hear Lisa's inspiring story on Recovery Soapbox and discover how she turned her trauma into triumph.
