Three Attempts. One Victory.
Description
At just 19, Mallory Berggren celebrates three months of sobriety this Father’s Day after her third attempt at recovery—this time succeeding where two others failed. Having left treatment against medical advice before, she found renewed hope at Avenues Recovery Center, where staff welcomed her back with pride and encouragement. Her father, a 20-year sober veteran, though unable to give her his years of recovery, stood by her with unwavering love, calling addiction a “devious disease.” Mallory admits past shame and guilt for returning home intoxicated—even bringing her father’s former drug of choice near him—yet the compassion she received at Avenues and her father’s steadfast support turned her struggle into triumph. Growing up immersed in 12-step culture, she entered recovery with less fear and more familiarity, making her success feel earned, not accidental.
