It’s easy to think we keep failing at this recovery thing when we’re quick to go back to those old habits. Sometimes after multiple failed attempts to quit, we can feel hopeless. But all is not lost. Those attempts to quit are not in vain. They all make up the stepping stones of recovery. 

This week we’re joined by Aubrey who sits in as guest host while we hear a warstory from Courtney. Courtney spent a lot of time lost in a world of drugs and alcohol. Time with the wrong people in horrific situations filled her with trauma but it wasn’t until she experienced a close personal loss that she was able to begin to dig her way out of hell and into a life worth living. Hear her talk about how every failure brought her closer to sobriety.
