Kim R's Journey
Finding Recovery and Self-Discovery at JourneyPure
A Life in Crisis
At 48, Kim found herself at a crossroads. Her story of transformation, which began at JourneyPure in Bowling Green, is a testament to the power of professional support and personal commitment in overcoming addiction.
Kim’s journey to recovery started with reluctance. “At first I did not want to get clean,” she recalls. “I was 48 years old and really thought I did nothing wrong because I was in my own house and everybody else did me wrong.”
This mindset changed when Kim’s daughter brought her to JourneyPure in Bowling Green. Entering the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Kim found more than just treatment; she discovered a path to self-awareness and positive change.
“Joe was my therapist. I’ve actually learned and realized I had choices and was able to make a good choice this time,” Kim shares.
Blake’s clean date of June 9, 2022, marks the beginning of a new chapter in his life. His time at JourneyPure provided the crucial first steps in his recovery journey.
“JourneyPure really gave me time to sit down without the drugs and learn a few key things like changing my mindset around my way of life,” Blake reflects.
A New Beginning
Her time at JourneyPure’s IOP proved transformative. Kim learned to communicate effectively and began to understand that her struggles weren’t solely the fault of others. This shift in perspective was crucial to her recovery.
Following her time in IOP, Kim’s commitment to recovery deepened. She moved into a sober living house. After graduating from the program, she secured a job in the kitchen at JourneyPure, further immersing herself in a supportive recovery environment.
“I just really involved myself into recovery,” Kim explains. “It took me a while to catch on. Because I’m human, I make mistakes, but I did learn from them.”
The Road to Recovery
Kim’s journey illustrates the importance of patience and persistence in recovery. It wasn’t until about four years into her sobriety that she fully recognized and began addressing her character defects. This realization underscores the ongoing nature of recovery and personal growth.
Today, with a clean date of December 9, 2018, Kim stands as a testament to the effectiveness of comprehensive treatment and ongoing support. Her experience at JourneyPure not only helped her achieve sobriety but also provided her with tools for continued personal growth and self-discovery.
Kim’s story reminds us that it’s never too late to seek help and make positive changes. Her journey from denial to self-awareness and recovery showcases the transformative power of professional treatment and a supportive community.
