Bridgette's Story: From Hidden Bottles to Healing Others
“For us, the best part of our story is that we're still here.”
Imagine growing up in a home where alcohol was as common as water. Bridgette W. knows this all too well, having been raised by two alcoholic parents. Her journey takes us from being the life of the college party to hiding bottles and crashing cars with no memory of it. In this episode of 'Rebuilding The Beast', Bridgette sits down with Festus Ezeli to share her raw and vivid story of hitting rock bottom and clawing her way back up.
After a series of harrowing experiences, including being a morning drinker and relapsing multiple times, Bridgette finally found the strength to get sober. Now, she channels her past struggles into helping others as a therapist for addicts and alcoholics. This episode isn't just about the dark times; it's about the questions we need to ask ourselves to understand our relationship with alcohol. Bridgette's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of seeking help.
If you're looking for a tale of transformation and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
