I had convinced myself that I wasn't an alcoholic. Then you're build up of a tolerance and then you have dependence.
Imagine growing up in a home where alcohol and abuse were constant shadows. That's the reality Marci Hopkins faced. In this compelling episode of 'The Drunkalogues', Nick Morton sits down with Marci to unravel her journey from a tumultuous childhood to a life of sobriety and success. Marci opens up about her early years, marked by her step-father's abuse and the pervasive presence of alcohol.
These dark experiences led her to seek solace in drinking, a coping mechanism that spiraled into addiction. But a DUI became the turning point she desperately needed. Forced to confront her choices, Marci embarked on a path to sobriety, supported by her grandparents and the community she found in AA. She didn't just stop at getting sober; she reinvented herself entirely.
Today, Marci is a celebrated author and TV host, known for her memoir 'Chaos To Clarity: Seeing The Signs and Breaking The Cycles' and her show 'Wake Up With Marci'. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of turning pain into purpose. Tune in to hear Marci's candid reflections on breaking free from victimhood, embracing imperfection, and finding true fulfillment.
