Picture this: you're fresh into recovery, feeling hopeful yet vulnerable, and then you dive into a relationship that turns your world upside down. That’s Joya’s story. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Joya opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction and codependency. Against her sponsor’s advice, she started dating another member of her AA group. Her partner, while sober from alcohol, was still entangled in a web of other addictions, including sex addiction.
The relationship was a rollercoaster of emotions, leaving Joya feeling repulsed yet unable to break away, constantly seeking his affection.

Joya’s candid recounting sheds light on the complexities of early recovery and how our past experiences shape our present struggles. She emphasizes the crucial role of 12-step programs like Codependents Anonymous and Al-Anon in her healing process.

Her story is a raw reminder that recovery is not just about quitting substances but also about addressing deeper emotional issues.
