Jowita Bydlowska's Journey: Motherhood and the Struggle with Alcohol

I actually expected a lot of negative feedback because we have all this stigma about addiction, especially mothers, parents who drink. So yeah, there's just been a lot of that.
Imagine celebrating the birth of your child with a glass of champagne, only to find yourself spiraling back into alcoholism after years of sobriety. That's exactly what happened to Jowita Bydlowska. In this eye-opening episode of Right Turn Radio, hosts Jon Cohan, Abby Dean, and Woody Giessmann sit down with Jowita to discuss her book 'DRUNK MOM' and her tumultuous journey through addiction and motherhood.
Jowita doesn't hold back as she recounts the harrowing moments of her relapse and the profound impact it had on her family. She sheds light on the deceptive nature of addiction and the isolating stigma that mothers, in particular, face. Through candid conversations, Jowita emphasizes the importance of prioritizing sobriety, even when juggling the demands of parenthood. She also highlights the invaluable role of support groups and the power of honesty in her recovery journey.
This episode isn't just a story of struggle; it's a testament to resilience and the possibility of recovery. Whether you're a parent grappling with addiction or someone seeking to understand its complexities, Jowita's story offers a raw and relatable perspective. Tune in for an honest discussion that underscores the importance of support and the hope that recovery brings.
