Chelsea's Journey to Sobriety and Mental Health Wellness | Recovery Matters Podcast Ep. 119



Chelsea grew up in a religious part of the South United States. After graduating from high school, she moved out of her parents’ house and began partying, smoking weed and eventually trying drugs like ecstasy and crystal meth. She thought she was just having a good time with everyone else, but quickly realized that her substance use had become an addiction.

Chelsea began to experience sleep deprivation as a result of her drug use. She would stay up for days at a time, and when she finally did sleep, she would only get a few hours. This sleep deprivation had a profound impact on her mental health. She began to experience delusions, paranoia, and hallucinations. She also became increasingly irritable and aggressive.

Chelsea’s family eventually intervened and took her to treatment. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and addiction, and she began a long and difficult journey to recovery. She has been sober for over 10 years, and she is now a vocal advocate for mental health awareness.
