Casey McGuire Davidson: A Journey from Corporate Stress to Sobriety Success
I should not have to put things into my body or be compelled to put things or any form of that that are not good for me because it makes you uncomfortable.
Casey McGuire Davidson's life was a whirlwind of high expectations and relentless performance, shaped by her upbringing with parents who were US diplomats. This global upbringing left her feeling the constant need to excel, a pressure that followed her into adulthood. In her corporate career, Casey found solace in drinking, often consuming a bottle of wine or more each day.
The toll it took on her life went unnoticed until she began waking up at 3am, relying on Ambien and anti-anxiety meds to cope with what she later realized were symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. When Casey became pregnant with her first child, she stopped drinking, thinking she had it under control. But the cycle resumed after her daughter was born, and it wasn't until her son was eight and her daughter two that she truly embarked on her recovery journey.
Balancing a demanding corporate job and motherhood, Casey discovered the path to sobriety. Today, Casey is a Certified Professional Life and Sobriety Coach and the host of the popular 'Hello Someday' podcast. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change', she opens up about the crucial role of support and boundaries in early sobriety. She also touches on how addiction affected her relationships and the new joys she's found in life post-recovery.
Casey's story is a testament to the power of community in recovery. Her insights on setting boundaries and seeking support are invaluable for anyone navigating their own sobriety journey. Tune in to hear Casey's candid reflections and find hope in her inspiring story.
