She candidly discusses her early experimentation with drinking, challenging school transitions, and an abusive relationship that further spiralled her addiction. Jess's wake-up call came at age 20, supported by her now-husband, which marked the beginning of her sobriety journey.

Jess passionately advocates for 'recovering out loud' to help others battling similar demons. Her story is a powerful reminder that support and understanding can pave the way for recovery.
