Shana Epps: CONTROLLED CHAOS | The Hopeaholics Podcast

Shana Epps opens up about her powerful journey through addiction, loss, and redemption in this eye-opening episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast. Growing up in a small town in Michigan, Shana always felt different, battling anxiety and insecurity from a young age. Prescribed Adderall at just 11 years old, she quickly developed a dependency, leading to years of substance abuse, including alcohol and opioids.

As a teenage mother, Shana tried to balance raising children while struggling with addiction, but the cycle of relapse and recovery seemed never-ending. Working in treatment centers while secretly battling alcoholism, she lived a double life until she hit rock bottom. After losing relationships and nearly losing herself, she found a breakthrough in AA and the Vivitrol shot, which became the foundation for lasting sobriety.

Now over three years sober, Shana shares her journey of healing, rebuilding trust with her daughters, and creating a meaningful life in recovery. She discusses the challenges of navigating motherhood after addiction, the power of therapy in uncovering past trauma, and the importance of self-worth in maintaining sobriety.

Her story is raw, real, and a testament to the fact that no one is beyond hope. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, in recovery, or looking for inspiration, this episode will leave you motivated to keep pushing forward.
