I was good at keeping my alcoholism a secret. So, getting sober and recovering out loud to help others was a game-changer for me.
Imagine finding solace in a bottle at just 14 years old. That's where Sarah's journey with alcohol began, using it as a crutch to manage anxiety and numb the pain of traumatic experiences. Fast forward a few decades, and that once-comforting partner turned into a relentless adversary. In this episode of 'The Now What Society', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy sit down with Sarah from 'Sober Gratitudes' to hear her raw and inspiring story of recovery.
Sarah opens up about her teenage years, the false sense of security alcohol provided, and the eventual spiral into dependency. She candidly discusses the internal battles, the constant search for validation, and the overwhelming feeling of living a life dictated by others' expectations. But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's a testament to the power of recovery. Sarah shares how she found her way out of the darkness, embracing self-acceptance and discovering a newfound purpose.
Her story highlights the importance of speaking out, finding support, and the incredible transformation that comes with sobriety. Whether you're battling addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for a story of resilience and hope, Sarah's journey offers valuable insights and inspiration.
