I think his definition of drinking is the best definition I've ever heard... we're bringing people like Savannah on to our show to tell their story and tell about what they do to give back and help in our communities.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their darkest moments into a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of Project Recovery, Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley sit down with Savannah Eley, a Service Coordinator at StepOne Service Castleview Hospital. Savannah opens up about her challenging journey, growing up feeling out of place in a predominantly religious community in Carbon County, Utah.
Struggling with postpartum depression after the birth of her first child, she found herself spiraling into prescription drug abuse. This led to devastating losses, including homes and cars, and tore her family apart. But Savannah's story doesn't end there. She shares the pivotal moment that pushed her towards sobriety after years of battling addiction. Now, five years sober, Savannah is dedicated to helping rural communities gain access to much-needed resources for addiction treatment.
Her candid discussion covers the importance of advocacy in recovery and addresses the stigma that often surrounds addiction. Listeners will find Savannah's story both raw and inspiring, a testament to the resilience required to overcome personal demons and then use that experience to aid others. Whether you're personally struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or just interested in understanding the complexities of addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
