Jordan's journey through the maze of addiction is a powerful tale of struggle, resilience, and ultimately, redemption. Growing up in a social environment where drinking was the norm, Jordan always felt like an outsider. Her early experimentation with alcohol and drugs was an attempt to fit in, but it quickly spiralled into a full-blown addiction. From high school parties to bartending jobs, her life seemed to revolve around alcohol.
But in May 2020, she decided enough was enough and quit drinking for good. This episode of Sober Motivation dives into her story, revealing the highs and lows of her path to sobriety. Jordan shares candid moments from her life, like the first time she took a shot of Triple Sec in eighth grade, to waking up with panic attacks after nights of heavy drinking.
She talks about the anxiety that plagued her since childhood and how it was never properly addressed, leading her to self-medicate with substances. Despite the chaos, Jordan found strength in her darkest moments. She moved back home, started working for her dad, and eventually found her calling in helping others as a case manager for women suffering from substance use disorder.
Her story is a testament to the fact that change is possible, even when it feels like there's no way out. If you're looking for inspiration or struggling with your own sobriety journey, Jordan's story might just be the push you need.
