Confronting Cancer, Conquering Addiction and Embracing Simplicity: Stefanie's Sobriety Story
Manage episode 391747358 series 3531606
As addiction cleared from her life, Stefanie found herself face-to-face with a new opponent: cancer. This episode takes you through the raw narrative of a woman who overcame alcohol, drug, and food addiction and emerged to fight yet another battle, this time for her very life.
Yet, Stefanie's story isn't about survival; it's about transformation.
Stephanie's introduction to a 12-step recovery program and a life lived by faith might have begun with skepticism, yet, it grew into a lifeline that held fast even as a cervical and brain cancer diagnosis rocked her world within two years. Her candid recollection of building her foundation in sobriety, with the support of a community that stood by her through the toughest times, is nothing short of inspiring. It's a conversation that underscores the value of supportive recovery networks and the courage it takes to face life's unexpected challenges.
Stefanie and I conclude our conversation with stories celebrating the strength of the human spirit, found by walking the path to an alcohol-free life. This conversation doesn't just chronicle battles of alcoholism, addiction, and illness; they're a testament to the life-altering power of service, community, and faith. Her experiences, laid bare in this revealing episode, are an offering of hope and a reminder of the unbreakable bonds formed on the journey to recovery.
