For me, it's truly the next best action.
Imagine standing in the middle of a grocery store aisle, battling inner demons while trying to maintain a facade of normalcy. That's the vivid image Alison paints in this episode of #HotMessSuccess with Melissa Ludwig. Alison, an author, elite athlete, and fierce advocate for recovery, opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction. She faced down not just drugs and alcohol, but also workaholism, food struggles, and the relentless need to please others.
Her story is one of rising from the ashes and finding strength in vulnerability. Alison's transformation began when she stopped seeking external validation to fill her emotional void. Instead, she turned to fitness, community support, hard work, and accountability. These pillars became her lifeline, helping her maintain nearly two decades of sobriety. Her experiences are chronicled in her book, 'The Addict in Aisle 7', where she encourages women to shed self-shame and embrace their full potential.
In this candid conversation with Melissa, Alison delves into the harsh realities of addiction recovery, particularly from bulimia and anorexia. She shares how she learned to treat herself with kindness, focusing on taking the next best action rather than falling into deprivation. Her message is clear: sharing your story can be a powerful tool for healing, both for yourself and others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or eating disorders.
Alison's resilience and practical advice offer a beacon of hope for those on their own recovery journeys. Tune in to hear how she turned her struggles into a source of strength and inspiration.
