I don't know that it was ever innocent or fun. I didn't care what people thought and I was going to show everyone what the horrible person that I actually was. Because, finally, I didn't have that anxiety of what is everyone thinking about me. I wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin.
Ever felt the pressure to be perfect? Meghan sure did. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, she opens up about her high school years, where impressing her peers and overachieving were top priorities. Her first drink at 16 set off a rollercoaster of drug experimentation and risky behavior, all while she juggled maintaining her grades. This manic existence continued into college, where the facade of control began to crumble.
It wasn’t until she stepped into her first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that she acknowledged her struggle with alcohol. But even then, it took two weeks of trying to moderate her drinking before she truly sought help. Meghan’s candid story is a powerful reminder that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Through sobriety, she’s discovered a sense of self-worth that doesn’t rely on overachievement.
She’s found more joy and fun in her sober life than she ever did while drinking. Her journey is relatable and offers hope to anyone grappling with addiction or the pressure to be perfect.
