As you were thinking about quitting drinking? That I wouldn't be fun anymore, which is funny because I had long past the point of being fun.
Bethany's story is one of resilience and transformation. At 34, she decided to take her last drink in January 2021, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life. In this episode of Recovery Elevator, hosted by Paul Churchill, Bethany opens up about her battles with unresolved trauma and how alcohol became her go-to escape. But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's one of triumph and community support.
Bethany candidly discusses how unhealthy relationships once dominated her life and how sobriety became her lifeline. She sheds light on the hurdles she faced, from changing deeply ingrained habits to navigating new social dynamics without alcohol. Yet, the rewards of her journey far outweigh the challenges. One of the key elements in her recovery has been the sense of community. Bethany emphasizes how connecting with others who understand her struggles has been crucial in maintaining her sobriety.
A standout resource for Bethany has been the Marco Polo app, which helps her stay connected and feel included even when physical meetings aren't possible. This app has become a cornerstone of her recovery toolkit, allowing her to maintain close relationships and receive support whenever she needs it. Bethany's story is not just inspiring; it's a powerful reminder that seeking help and building a supportive community are vital steps in overcoming addiction.
