“I wanted to stop, and I could not stop. I would say, I'm not going to do this again, and I would do it.”
June G's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Growing up in a restrictive environment, she lacked a normal support system and faced significant challenges fitting into society. At just 13, June had her first drink, setting off a tumultuous relationship with alcohol that would dominate her teenage years and beyond. By 15, she was already deeply depressed and isolated, leading to her first suicide attempt.
Her story takes us through the struggles of daily drinking, blackouts, and the eventual descent into drug use while working as a successful attorney in Manhattan. Despite achieving professional success, June's personal life was in shambles, culminating in multiple suicide attempts and a desperate cry for help. Her parents intervened, taking her to a treatment centre that would become the turning point in her life.
Through rigorous treatment and the support of Alcoholics Anonymous, June learned to love herself, build meaningful relationships, and live a life grounded in spiritual principles. Her tale is a testament to the power of recovery and the importance of community support. If you're looking for a story of resilience and hope, June G's candid recounting of her path to sobriety is a must-listen.
