Rachael's Road to Sobriety: From Party Girl to Self-Prioritization
“Recovery only happened for me because a client of mine, who she really saved my life. She told me that she was a recovered alcoholic after About Six Months of me sharing with her my drinking stories and my trying to control my drinking.”
What happens when your identity is wrapped up in being the life of the party, but inside you're falling apart? Rachael knows this story all too well. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Rachael, who opens up about her tumultuous journey from teenage drinking to finding sobriety.
