Hilary Phelps: From Negative Self-Talk to 15 Years of Sobriety

When I came into treatment, when I came into the rooms, when I put down the drink, when I thought I was the worst person in the world for the things that I had done...I was not the person I wanted to be friends with, and I could admit that now, because I'm not that person anymore.
What happens when the voices in your head won't stop? For Hilary Phelps, alcohol seemed like the only way to silence the relentless negative self-talk that plagued her from a young age. In this episode of 'Sober Motivation', Hilary opens up about her early struggles with self-worth despite a seemingly perfect childhood and a promising swimming career.
She talks candidly about how she turned to drinking as a way to cope with feelings of inadequacy, and how this coping mechanism quickly spiraled out of control. Now, with over 15 years of sobriety under her belt, Hilary shares the pivotal moments that led her to seek help and the strategies that have kept her on the path to recovery.
From finding a supportive community to embracing self-care and trying new things, Hilary's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of surrendering to the recovery process. If you've ever felt trapped by your own thoughts or turned to alcohol to escape, Hilary's journey offers a beacon of hope. Her story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about reclaiming self-worth and discovering the strength within.
Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and inspiration.
