All of the things that I didn't believe that I had came to me when I was drinking, I felt that I had sex appeal and that I was funny and that I was lovable and popular, and it was all of these add-ons similar to plastic surgery.
Feeling out of place is something many of us can relate to, but for Hilary, it was a constant shadow. Growing up, she felt gawky, pale, and thin, always comparing herself to the 'popular' girls. By the end of high school, she had transformed into a tall, shapely blonde with big blue eyes, catching the attention of many boys. Yet, deep down, she still felt small and unloved.
This episode of Recovery Internet Radio dives into Hilary's compelling story of using alcohol to mask her insecurities and her relentless quest for love. Hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Hilary to explore how her journey led to a dangerous spiral of alcohol and drug use by the end of college. The episode sheds light on the often-overlooked dangers of compromising self-worth to fit in and the importance of nurturing inner development from a young age.
Hilary opens up about her struggles with body dysmorphia and the pressures that led her to consider plastic surgery. She shares candidly about the difference between normal drinking and alcoholism, and how she eventually found healing through openness and clarity. This episode isn't just about addiction; it's about the transformative power of self-acceptance and the long road to sobriety.
Whether you're dealing with similar issues or supporting someone who is, Hilary's story offers a heartfelt reminder that true beauty and worth come from within.
