There was a power that was greater than myself, that god was watching out for me the entire time, and that's why I can't help but to work this program like my hair is on fire.
Imagine the turmoil of losing control over your life due to alcohol. Patrice Olootu knows this all too well. In this episode of 'Sober Shares', she opens up about her three-year journey to sobriety. Her story starts in college, where casual drinking spiraled into a full-blown addiction, affecting her studies and personal life. Patrice's drinking habits worsened after she got married and had children, leading to job losses, legal issues, and frequent blackouts.
She even left her family to drink freely, not realizing she had a problem until her life began to crumble in 2012. Although her first attempt at sobriety failed, Patrice eventually found the strength to seek help again. With the unwavering support of her family and mentors, she embraced honesty, willingness, and open-mindedness as cornerstones of her recovery. Meditation and prayer became vital tools in her journey.
Patrice's story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with alcohol addiction, emphasizing the power of seeking help and giving back to others in similar struggles.
