Savannah’s Story

On New Year’s Day 2021, a night of drinking ended in a coma—and became the turning point that saved a life. In this powerful recovery story, Savannah shares the raw reality of addiction: waking up alone in an emergency room, losing family and friends, and being overwhelmed by shame and self-hatred.

After hitting a breaking point and confronting thoughts of suicide, a last reach for help led to treatment and a recovery journey that challenged common stigmas around rehab and redefined what real healing can look like. This conversation explores the moment everything changed, what addiction slowly takes away, and why asking for help can feel impossible but can also be lifesaving.
