Rise Recover Live

Send us a text

#124: At 19 years old Kaley Jones’ (she/her) life came to a crossroads: on one path, she could move to Mexico and continue a life that was gripped by substance use disorder. Alternatively, she could begin the long and arduous journey of sobriety; an existence that not only seemed impossible, but one she didn’t think she wanted. Over 10 years later, Kaley says starting recovery was stepping into the fullest form of her human existence.
Check out the episode as we hear Kaley's recovery journey and more, including:

• The importance of community in early sobriety.
• Kaley’s first introduction to The Phoenix after leaving the safety of her treatment center.
• Leaning into recovery and what life now has to offer her.
