Emily's Story:
Finding New Life After Loss at JourneyPure
A Life in Crisis
Sometimes the darkest moments in life become catalysts for profound transformation. For Emily S., the tragic loss of her fiancé to an accidental overdose became the turning point in her own battle with addiction.
“June 14th, 2023 will always be a day I never forget,” Emily shares, her voice carrying the weight of that pivotal moment. After struggling with addiction for five years, the devastating loss of her fiancé brought her face to face with addiction’s ultimate cost.
In the depths of her grief, help arrived in an unexpected form. “A lady walked into another facility I was at from JourneyPure and said ‘don’t you come with me, let us live on you for,'” Emily recalls. “I practically fell into her arms, and from that moment forward, there was no turning back.”
The timing of this intervention proved crucial. Broken and numb from loss, Emily found herself ready to accept the helping hand extended by JourneyPure’s outreach team. This moment of vulnerability became the foundation for her journey to recovery.
A New Beginning
Since beginning her recovery journey on June 13th, 2023, Emily has experienced a remarkable transformation that extends far beyond sobriety. Her life today is filled with achievements that seemed impossible during her active addiction. “I’ve had a great relationship with my family. I have an incredible network of people around me in sobriety,” she shares with pride.
Emily’s recovery has brought numerous positive changes to her life. She actively participates in softball leagues weekly, maintains two successful jobs – recently earning a promotion at one – and has taken on leadership responsibilities as an Assistant House Manager at her sober living facility.
Her gratitude for the transformation is evident as she reflects on her journey: “I am so grateful that JourneyPure saved my life.” This sentiment echoes through every aspect of her new life, from her renewed family relationships to her professional achievements.
