Sarah's Journey: Finding Grace Amidst the Chaos of Alcoholism

It's such a complicated, difficult issue and we just we want people who are in similar situations, because there's literally millions of them, to understand.
Ever felt like you're in the eye of a storm, trying to hold on while everything around you spins out of control? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis sit down with Sarah, who knows that feeling all too well. Born into a family plagued by alcoholism and mental illness, Sarah's early years were a whirlwind of chaos.
As her siblings left home, she was left to face the tempest alone, forging a bond with them through shared trauma. Now, Sarah is navigating her own alcoholic marriage, struggling to apply lessons from her past while dealing with family members who don't quite get it. Sarah's story is one of pain, love, and the struggle to find hope in the darkest of times.
She opens up about the harsh judgments she faces from her family and how she's learning to articulate her feelings and carve out a path that works for her. Her candid reflections offer a raw look at the complexities of living with addiction and the courage it takes to survive.

This episode isn't just about Sarah's journey; it's about creating a community where people can find support and understanding.
Whether you're dealing with codependency, grappling with the effects of growing up in an alcoholic household, or simply seeking solace in shared experiences, Sarah's story is a beacon of resilience.
