Everyone should know that addiction is not a moral failing. And I'm not an expert, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a guru, but after being sober for Four Years, I know some things and I really want to share my experience with you and explain where alcoholism took me and explain what it took for me to get sober.
Imagine feeling trapped in a cycle of alcohol and loneliness while trying to be the best mom you can be. That's exactly what Leslie Shapiro experienced, and she opens up about it in this episode of 'Secrets of a Sober Mom'. Growing up in a well-off community with a thriving career, Leslie seemed to have it all. But beneath the surface, she was battling a painful and isolating struggle with alcohol.
Her drinking started as a daily habit and quickly escalated to an all-consuming escape from her inner turmoil. Even as her nanny and family expressed concern, Leslie managed to hide her addiction, spinning a web of lies to cover her tracks. The turning point came with a DUI, forcing Leslie to confront her addiction head-on. She takes us through her journey of seeking help, facing the stigma of being a sober mom, and the importance of self-care.
Leslie's story is a powerful reminder that seeking help is an act of courage, not weakness. She breaks down common misconceptions about addiction, emphasizing that it's not a moral failing but a serious issue that requires support and understanding. This episode offers hope and inspiration for any mom struggling with alcoholism, showing that recovery is not only possible but also life-changing.
Leslie's candidness provides a beacon of hope for those in similar situations, proving that it's never too late to turn things around.
