I'm the person today that alcohol made me be, but without the alcohol. That makes sense.
What happens when a high-flying news anchor swaps cocaine-fueled nights for a life of sobriety? In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', host Pete Sousa sits down with Courtney Friel, a former FOX News Channel anchor turned sobriety advocate. Courtney pulls no punches as she recounts her wild 15-year ride through addiction, from the chaos of her college days to the fast-paced life in New York City.
But it's her more than 11 years of sobriety that truly shine in this conversation. Courtney's journey is one of transformation and service. She dives into the nitty-gritty of getting sober, staying sober, and how these experiences have reshaped her personal and professional life. Her book, 'Tonight at 10: Kicking Booze and Breaking News', captures her story in vivid detail and is even set to become a feature film.
But beyond the book deals and headlines, Courtney is committed to helping others navigate their own paths to sobriety. She talks about the importance of self-reflection, the difference between merely being sober and fully embracing a recovery program, and how being 'of service' has become a cornerstone of her new life. If you're curious about the challenges and rewards of living alcohol-free, or just need a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
Pete and Courtney's candid conversation offers a raw, real look at what it takes to turn your life around and help others do the same.
