Chelle Fisher spent 23 years struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. But, tired of waking up hungover, she started to make a new habit.
"There's so much that I don't remember, which is sad. Because I got married, I had two children and I was kind of just on autopilot," she said."It was in my early 20s, probably about eight years later, that I sort of started to realise, 'Hey, there's got to be more to life than what I'm doing'.It was July 2014 and a "mother of all hangovers" got Ms Fisher off the couch and onto the mountains.
"I was so badly hungover. It was very scary. And I just said, 'No more'. And it was easier when I made that choice," she said.Ms Fisher said challenging any negative thoughts helped her along her new path."It wasn't so much that I was weak, it was just a pattern that I was playing over and over because I didn't know anything else.Chelle Fisher has been raising funds to support other family violence survirors.
