Holly's Story: Finding Sobriety and a New Life at 24

The amount I've achieved in The Almost Two Years I have of sobriety is more than I have in my entire life on my own.
Imagine finding a way to numb life's pains as a teenager, only to realize years later that it's become a serious problem. Holly S. experienced this firsthand with her first sip of alcohol—disgusting yet oddly comforting. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', Holly sits down with host William C. Moyers to share her journey from college binge drinking to sobriety at the age of 24. The turning point?
The heartbreaking loss of her father, which propelled her to seek help and change her life. Holly opens up about the hardest part of her journey—asking for help—and how embracing sobriety has transformed her life in wonderful ways. If you're curious about what it's like to get sober at a young age or need a dose of inspiration, Holly's story is a must-listen.
