I think those are some of my biggest regrets while I was drinking is putting other people at risk, um, and I don't have children.
Picture this: a college town where drinking is the norm. That's where Kristen's story begins. What started as a social activity soon spiraled into a daily habit, impacting her relationships and parenting. On this episode of 'The Sobriety Diaries', Kristen opens up about her journey to sobriety, sharing the ups and downs along the way. She recalls the moment she realized something needed to change and how she found support through an outpatient program.
Interestingly, she chose not to tell her elderly parents about her struggles to shield them from worry. Kristen's story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about navigating life as a sober individual in a world where drinking is common. She talks candidly about the challenges of being around a partner who drinks occasionally and the strategies she uses to cope with social situations.
Throughout the episode, Kristen reflects on the smaller traumas that fueled her drinking and the risks she took while under the influence. Despite these hurdles, she remains positive and offers a beacon of hope for others facing similar battles. Her story is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is possible and that seeking help is a courageous step toward healing.
