Jolene's Path to Sobriety: Finding Balance and Hope
Let them love you until you can love yourself, because I never wanted anybody to love me and I never wanted someone to hug me when I was sad or feeling down, but then eventually, like you, kind of don't have a choice, because people truly do love you, you know, in this, this program, because they can empathize with you.
Balancing work, motherhood, and personal struggles can feel like juggling flaming torches. For Jolene, alcohol became the crutch that helped her manage the chaos—until it didn't. In this heartfelt episode of the '4th Dimensioners Podcast', Jolene opens up about her journey from dependency to a year of sobriety. Her story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about rediscovering herself and learning to live life on life's terms.
