Michelle's Journey: From High-Functioning to Healing Through Faith

God uses the hard stuff, and you are so right that grief and alcohol do not mix, because grief, you know. You have to fill that empty space with something else.
Ever felt like you're juggling a thousand things while secretly struggling with addiction? Michelle knows that feeling all too well. In this heartfelt episode of 'She Surrenders', Sherry Hoppen sits down with Michelle, a high-functioning Christian woman who battled alcohol addiction while maintaining the facade of a perfect life. Michelle opens up about how the death of her mother was the catalyst for her to confront her addiction head-on.
She describes the soul-crushing grip of alcohol and how it wore her down, despite her outward success. Michelle’s turning point came when a wise woman from her Bible study group encouraged her to speak out and seek help. This episode sheds light on the crucial role of community and support in recovery. Michelle’s story is a powerful reminder that it's okay to ask for help and that no one has to face addiction alone.
Grief played a significant role in Michelle’s journey, teaching her that alcohol and sorrow are a toxic mix. She shares how she found healthier ways to cope with her loss, focusing on changing her lifestyle and prioritizing her well-being. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of faith and the importance of addressing grief in the healing process.
Whether you're a high-functioning individual struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Michelle’s story offers hope and practical advice for recovery. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey of surrendering to God, seeking support, and making positive lifestyle changes.
