Jacqui's Fight: From Addiction's Grip to Sobriety's Light

You really are just clinging on, and sometimes it is just about getting through another day clean. And I'm not saying it's fun, but I'm saying it's rewarding at The End Of The Day, when you've gotten through it.
Ever wondered how someone can rise from the depths of addiction to a place of hope and self-discovery? Jacqui's journey is a testament to human resilience. Growing up in Belfast, Ireland, Jacqui's early encounters with alcohol set the stage for a tumultuous path. By 13, she was praised for coming home sober, but soon her life spiraled into alcoholism, then meth and benzo addiction. She lost her children and hit rock bottom, leaving scars that seemed insurmountable.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Dismantled Life', Jacqui opens up about her darkest moments and the turning points that led her to sobriety. Now, with 38 months of sobriety under her belt, she shares the raw reality of her struggles and the profound rewards of staying clean. Her story sheds light on the crucial role of support groups and the daily battles of maintaining sobriety. As Jacqui puts it, 'Sometimes it’s just about getting through another day clean.
It’s not always fun, but it’s rewarding when you’ve made it through.' Jacqui's candidness offers a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. Her narrative is not just about survival but about finding oneself amidst the chaos. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or seeking inspiration, Jacqui's story is a powerful reminder that it's possible to reclaim your life from addiction.
