I prayed for god to flip that switch back for Years and Years and years, and I feel like he did, because something changed in me and I went to the hospital that day and I haven't drank since.
Stephanie's story is a rollercoaster of despair and triumph. At 37, this single mother found herself at rock bottom, dialing 911 on herself in a desperate bid for help with her alcoholism. The trauma of losing her mother at a young age had driven her to the bottle, and despite her best efforts, she couldn't break free from its grip. But Stephanie's tale doesn't end in tragedy.
With the unwavering support of her family and a community that stood by her side, she managed to turn her life around in a way that’s nothing short of miraculous. Three years into her sobriety journey, she didn't just find peace—she won a national award for sales. What makes Stephanie's story truly remarkable are the lessons she learned along the way. She discovered that finding the right support system was crucial.
Whether it was attending group meetings or leaning on friends and family, having people who understood her struggle made all the difference. Humility played a big role too. Stephanie had to let go of her ego and accept help, whether it meant taking on simple jobs or seeking advice from other women in recovery. Her journey also underscores the power of surrender.
At her lowest point, Stephanie prayed for help and decided to let go, which led her to seek treatment and embrace change. Today, she’s not just surviving; she’s thriving. Stephanie's story is a beacon of hope for anyone battling addiction. It shows that with the right support, humility, and a bit of faith, recovery is within reach.
