Lauren Yoder's First 100 Days: From Despair to Hope
It's as simple as just letting go surrender to win. Once you do that, god takes over and you know you basically just have to follow his lead.
What happens when you hit rock bottom and have nowhere to turn? Lauren Yoder knows all too well. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Recovery Revolution', Lauren shares her raw and unfiltered journey from addiction to sobriety. Introduced to drugs and alcohol as a teenager, she found herself spiraling into a dark place, writing poems filled with loneliness and despair. Her family intervened, giving her an ultimatum that would change her life forever: seek treatment or lose everything.
She chose treatment, flying nearly 2000 miles to California to spend 45 days in rehab. Since then, she’s been sober every single day, one day at a time. Lauren's story isn't just about the struggle; it's about the triumphs, the small victories, and the power of community. She talks candidly about the importance of surrendering to a higher power and finding support among those who truly understand the battle against addiction.
Her journey is documented in her book '100 Days (Sober)', a collection of journal entries from her first 100 days of sobriety. This episode is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in stories of resilience, Lauren's experience offers hope and inspiration.
