201: 20 Years Of Evolving Sobriety With Joann Kenyon
Manage episode 376713272 series 2792717
Joann Kenyon grew up an Army brat to a family she thought gave her everything she ever wanted. It wasn’t until later that she realized that wasn’t true. She started drinking at 12 and found Meth at 14. That first night she used, she stayed up all night playing video games and felt the best she’d ever felt.
Things escalated quickly and suddenly she was a 70lb raver, selling drugs and peeing on everyone’s couch. She was a convicted felon by 18. In and out of treatment. Then back home, shooting ketamine and speed. Getting fired from drugs.
Then came recovery and young people’s meetings, but brought about other addictions outside of using. At the end of each road she would feel things narrowing and would realize once again what she was looking for wasn’t at the end of it.
Today she’s almost 20 years sober, living a healthy life and working to heal people who feel the same inner turmoil she faced for so long.
