Controlled Chaos a Recovery Podcast
Shana Epps
Welcome to "Controlled Chaos," the podcast where we dive into the world of recovery, sharing stories of experience, strength, and hope from those who have been there and made it through. No matter where you are in your battle with addiction, alcoholism, or mental health struggles, know that there is a way out. Throughout my sobriety journey, I have often felt alone and doubted my ability to stay sober. Starting this podcast in my room just two months ago, I had a dream of reaching people like me—those who felt hopeless. As a girl in recovery, I began with zero followers, but with a dream of offering hope to even just one person. The mission of this podcast is to connect, inspire, and provide hope to those feeling lost or struggling. Remember, the opposite of addiction and isolation is sobriety and connection. Let's come together through the "Controlled Chaos" podcast and support each other on the journey to healing and growth.

• “I don't think I would have been able to stay with somebody who drank. And that's just the real."
• “Now that I'm sober, I'm fine going places where people are drinking and having their life, and when they get too drunk, I'm out."
• “The stuff that they find funny, for no reason, is just not funny to me, because I'm not drunk."
• “I had spent, probably since I was 14 years old, the most I had ever been sober was two months."
• “Once I got to like six months, or even a year, I was like, I just want to be this way; I don't want it to be like chance."
• “I needed more than that; I needed something different. So I ended up getting on medication."
• “The first time I got the shot for my sobriety, I never drank again."
• “I had so much noise and chatter in my brain about drinking: 'Just do one; you can just have one.'"
• “When I ended up getting on the medication, it just went away."
• “If I think about alcohol right now, I'm like, I have a really good life; I don't want to live like I lived before."
