I personally found two in the morning and like, it's just the same kind of idea, right, that trauma. Sometimes I would drink out of boredom, plain and simple, you know, but then that boredom would turn into something else.
Picture this: starting with casual drinks at school parties and ending up in a career where alcohol was practically part of the job description. That’s the story of Anita, who shares her journey on this episode of 'Voices in Recovery'. From the pressures of fitting in during her teenage years to the professional world where sobriety was almost taboo, Anita faced an uphill battle against alcoholism.
Her work environment not only encouraged drinking but also exposed her to harassment and trauma, pushing her deeper into dependency. But Anita’s story doesn’t end there. With immense courage and the support of friends and family, she sought the help she desperately needed. Today, she continues to make strides in her recovery, tackling both alcohol dependency and PTSD with remarkable openness.
This episode also touches on the added challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for new coping strategies in these unprecedented times. Anita's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
