I've since realized that I've got social anxiety and as much as I love being around people, I have always lubricated prior to things just to get me to the mindset and then I would continue to drink, and I'm a binge drinker.
Imagine juggling a demanding career in women's healthcare, raising an 11-year-old, and maintaining a marriage that started when you were just 17. Now, add the struggle of overcoming alcoholism to the mix. In this episode of the Sobertown Podcast, we hear from a Texan mom who has faced all these challenges head-on. At 42, she's just passed her 222-day sobriety milestone and is eagerly eyeing the one-year mark.
Her story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about understanding the deeper issues that led her down that path in the first place. From dealing with past traumas to navigating social anxiety and binge drinking, she opens up about the hurdles she's had to overcome. But it's not all struggle; she also shares the tools and strategies that have helped her stay sober, including therapy and support systems.
This episode is a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction and the importance of finding purpose and giving back. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to hear how one woman is turning her life around and helping others do the same.
