Rhian Gritten Story of Addiction &Recovery

Meet the Founder and Powerhouse behind Empowered Recovery, Rhian Gritten.

Rhian spent 20 years of her life lost to drug, alcohol and food addictions. At the age of 35 she had pretty much given up and resigned herself to the fact that she would just exist through life never truly finding happiness.

Then in 2017 this all changed for her

After leaving a 9 year abusive relationship and tipping the scales at 26 stone, Rhian knew that something had to change, and that change had to come from within. Rhian set some very big goals for herself which many laughed at, but due to her determination and refusal to give up, those dreams became a reality and in 2023 she hit her target weightloss of 17 stone. Her success wasn't linear, far from it, but that’s what makes her so special and why she achieved basically the impossible. She refused to give up on herself.

In 2020 she became one of only a small fraction of people to beat and recover from necrotising fasciitis (only 1 in 5 survive which she believes places her in the badass category), she was then diagnosed with the chronic illness Trigeminal Neuralgia, suffered facial paralysis in early 2021, was diagnosed with Complex - PTSD, grieved the death of her Grandma in December 2022 and sadly found out that her Father has Huntington's Disease, meaning she could also be a carrier of the gene.

Rhian has spent the last 4 years helping thousands of Women to recover from alcoholism and drug addiction through her page Unapologetically Rhi. Rhian, along with her partner Gareth who is also sober, has created a free only support community called Empowered Recovery where men and women find recovery from addiction every day. She also has a Female Only Membership - Unapologetically You where she works closely with her Members to create a life they no longer need to escape from.

Through the work she does Rhian plans to end the stigma surrounding drug addiction. It will no longer be a taboo subject where people are ashamed to discuss it. She is the voice of people who are too scared to ask for help. She is the light for those who are still lost in the dark. She recovers loudly so that people don’t die in silence.

Rhian hopes to inspire others by sharing her message of hope, faith, determination and the refusal to accept that ‘this is all there is.’

‘The only way you’ll fail, is if you quit.’ m.facebook.com/unapologeticallyrhi
