In this episode of Sober Cast, recorded at the 4th Pockets of Enthusiasm Roundup in Omaha, NE, in 1989, Beth shares her story of recovery with a blend of wit and wisdom that will leave you both laughing and reflecting deeply.
Beth's journey began with a childhood lacking emotional support, pushing her towards alcohol as a coping mechanism at a young age.

With the right support and determination, anyone can turn their life around. Beth's humor and humility make her story incredibly relatable. She reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and that there is always hope for a better life.
Her words encourage those battling addiction to seek help and embrace the journey of recovery. As Beth wisely puts it, 'nothing in life that's worthwhile is easy, but if you'll take our hands and come along the road with us, it'll be better.'
