When I was out at the concert and I was out all last week, I had people coming up and talking about Steve congratulating me on five years of sobriety. And I'm so glad that we're here five years later doing this.
Imagine growing up in a quiet Kansas town where entertainment options are few and far between. That's where Haylee Hoefgen's story begins. In this episode of Project Recovery, Haylee sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share her journey from small-town life to battling addiction and mental health issues.
Introduced to drugs and alcohol by friends, Haylee's early years were marked by an escalating struggle with substance abuse and an eating disorder that made even the simplest tasks feel impossible. The turning point came when Haylee lost a close friend to an opioid overdose. This tragic event pushed her to confront her own mental health struggles. Seeking a fresh start, she moved to Utah and found solace in the welcoming community at Fit To Recover.
Through therapy, mindfulness, and the support of like-minded individuals, Haylee began to rebuild her life. Her story is a powerful reminder of the deep connection between mental health and addiction. It underscores the importance of seeking help and finding healthy ways to cope. Whether you're dealing with similar issues or supporting someone who is, Haylee's journey offers hope and practical advice for overcoming life's toughest challenges.
