Not only am I a grateful alcoholic in recovery, I have struggled
Gina Sacco's life reads like a rollercoaster ride through chaos and recovery. Raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, Gina grew up in a whirlwind of dysfunction with two moms, two dads, and a slew of siblings and step-siblings. Despite the tumultuous family dynamics, she always found a silver lining in the abundance of Christmas and birthday gifts. However, beneath the surface, Gina grappled with severe addiction issues that started as early as middle school.
Her struggles ranged from an eating disorder to substance abuse, each filling the void she felt within herself. Now in her thirties, Gina shares her candid story of overcoming addiction and trauma on this episode of Recovery Survey. She talks about the pivotal role her mother, also in recovery, played in her journey. Gina’s path to sobriety wasn’t straightforward. She navigated through various forms of self-sabotage and found solace in both in-person and virtual recovery meetings, especially during the pandemic.
For those new to recovery, Gina offers heartfelt advice: take it one day at a time and be brutally honest with yourself and others. She emphasizes the importance of building and maintaining sober relationships as a cornerstone of her recovery. Through sharing her experiences on social media, Gina has connected with a broader community, finding support and offering inspiration to others facing similar battles.
This episode is a raw, uplifting conversation that highlights the power of resilience and community in the journey to sobriety. Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Gina’s story is a beacon of hope and a testament to the strength it takes to reclaim your life from addiction.
