Laurence Cottet: From Struggle to Strength in the Fight Against Alcoholism

It's important to break the chains and find the strength to overcome addiction, no matter how difficult it may seem.
What does it take to break free from the grip of alcohol addiction? In this episode of 'Beyond Bars', Laurence Cottet shares her raw and honest journey from social drinking to battling full-blown alcoholism. As a patient-experte at the CHU of Grenoble, Laurence has been sober for over a decade and now dedicates her life to helping others navigate their own paths to recovery.
She opens up about the stigma surrounding female alcoholism, especially in professional settings, and how she found the courage to seek medical support. Laurence’s story isn't just about personal triumph; it’s about advocating for a broader understanding and support system for those struggling with addiction. She also discusses the added challenges brought on by Covid and lockdowns, offering practical advice for anyone looking to reduce or quit their alcohol consumption.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that no matter how tough the journey, finding strength and support can lead to a brighter, sober future.
