I think that as long as I don't give up and live in denial, I'm very well aware of my alcoholism, there's never denying it.
What happens when a world champion boxer faces the toughest opponent of all—addiction? In this gripping episode of 'The Unashamed Alcoholic', Becca sits down with Mia St. John, a 5-time World and International Boxing Champion, who opens up about her 30-year journey of sobriety, relapse, and the relentless fight to get back on track. Mia's story isn't just about her victories in the ring; it's about resilience, strength, and the reality of dealing with personal loss.
She candidly shares the heart-wrenching moments of losing her son Julian and ex-husband Kristoff St. John, and how these tragedies impacted her sobriety. You'll hear Mia discuss the dangers of becoming complacent in recovery and the crucial role accountability plays in staying sober. She also touches on the struggles many faced during the pandemic and how the normalization of drinking in wine culture can be a hidden trap.
If you've ever wondered how fellowship and support can make a difference in sobriety, Mia's insights will be eye-opening. This episode is a raw and inspiring conversation that sheds light on the ongoing battle against addiction and the importance of breaking down stigmas. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Mia's story offers hope and a reminder that it's never too late to fight back.
