After 20 years of drug addiction, jail time, health scares, losing custody of their children, and hitting rock bottom, a married couple who met as teens embraced a brand-new challenge together: recovery. Over three years later, they’ve reclaimed their lives, reconnected with their faith, and reunified their family.
Today, Sonya and Steven Johnson, both 37, live in Sarasota, Florida, with their two sons: Nicholas, 14, and Aiden, 12, both attending a military academy. Steven is a fourth-generation plumber and Sonya works for the nonprofit National Alliance of Mental Illness’s “Parents for Parents” program, helping parents navigate custody rights and do what’s best for their kids.
