In Episode 70 of Far From Finished Stephanie talks about deciding to move into a sober living and how it’s been a huge factor in her recovery. Sober living has reignited her brain and made her accountable for her actions.

On September 6th, 2016, Stephanie overdosed on Oxycodone. She then entered her first detox. Stephanie has nothing when she made the decision to go 3,000 miles away from home for treatment. She had no financial support, no job, and her family didn’t want anything to do with her.

When Stephanie initially arrived to treatment, 30 days sounded like a lot. She didn’t want to do it. She wanted to do two weeks. After that two weeks, something it her. She wasn’t ready to go home. The people, places, and things – especially changing her environment helped her situation. During this process, Stephanie was taught the following – if you’re not having fun in recovery, then you’re doing something wrong. For Stephanie, recovery is about having fun.

Stephanie has kept herself very busy in active recovery. She goes to meetings each day and wants to go back to school for psychology. She wants to become a clinician and work with others who have gone through the same thing as her. Stephanie knows she has a purpose.
