Josie bravely shares her poignant journey from growing up in an alcoholic and abusive household to battling her own addictions and ultimately finding her path to recovery at the Home of Grace for Women in Eight Mile, AL. Raised amid chaos, Josie was never truly a child; she was thrust into the harsh realities of addiction and mental illness at a tender age. Her story is one of pain, survival, and redemption.

Discover how her once-chaotic life spiraled through alcohol and drug addiction, leading Josie to hit rock bottom. Experience her heartfelt retelling of multiple brushes with the law and numerous attempts at rehabilitation as she desperately sought change. Despite facing many setbacks and a life filled with rejection, Josie's unwavering faith in God's transformative power became her beacon of hope.

As she surrendered to the healing process through structure and a supportive community, hear how Josie's faith journey and commitment to structured living led her to a life free from addiction. Learn about the significant role her faith played in her recovery, as well as the importance of capturing her prayers in a prayer box, which resulted in the realization of hope through marriage, sobriety, and personal accomplishments.

This episode promises to challenge the stigmas surrounding addiction, celebrate the triumphs of recovery, and, most importantly, provide a testament to the healing power of love and faith. Tune in for an inspiring story of resilience and the rediscovery of God’s embrace.
