What happens when you hit rock bottom but find the strength to climb back up? In this episode of 'The Unashamed Alcoholic', Becca sits down with Laura Eamon, whose story is a testament to resilience and the power of recovery. Laura had to leave university due to her struggles with alcohol, but that wasn't the end of her story.
Once she embraced sobriety, she not only returned to her studies but also earned a scholarship—a remarkable turnaround that will inspire anyone facing similar battles. Growing up in a household familiar with Alcoholics Anonymous, Laura was no stranger to the concept of recovery. Yet, it took her own personal struggles to truly understand and embrace it.
She shares candidly about her feelings of anger towards her parents for not discussing alcoholism openly and how she overcame negative self-talk with the support of her partner and two daughters. Laura's journey is about more than just quitting alcohol; it's about breaking the silence and stigma that often surrounds addiction. Her openness aims to set an example for others, encouraging them to speak out and seek help.
This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of the highs and lows of recovery, offering hope and practical advice for anyone on a similar path.
