Episode Overview

  • Childhood trauma can have a lasting impact on addiction.

  • Community support plays a crucial role in recovery.
  • Denial is a common hurdle in the journey to sobriety.

I knew it was affecting my children, it was affecting my family life, and I did it for my kids.
Annemarie's story is a powerful testament to the resilience and strength required to overcome addiction. In this episode of the Sobertown Podcast, host Drifter sits down with Annemarie, who opens up about her tumultuous journey to sobriety. Born into a family where alcohol and violence were the norm, Annemarie shares heart-wrenching memories from her childhood, including witnessing extreme violence and the impact it had on her.
Despite these challenges, she found the courage to break the cycle and seek a better life for herself and her children. Annemarie discusses her struggles with denial and addiction, and how hitting rock bottom pushed her to join the Sobertown community and the Rewired program. Her story is not just about personal recovery but also about giving back; Annemarie now helps others on their path to sobriety by hosting Zoom meetings and supporting the Sobertown Facebook group.
Her journey is filled with raw honesty, moments of despair, and ultimately, hope. If you're looking for a story that embodies resilience and the power of community support, this episode is a must-listen.
