Any given night at school or any given night of my drinking career would qualify me to be in the rooms of alcoholics anonymous, because I really I was like more I have. I am going to destroy more stuff than you.
Picture this: Growing up in the heart of Manhattan, Alana seemed to have it all—prestigious schools, affluent friends, and a Park Avenue address. But beneath the surface, her life was far from perfect. Alana's first 'drug' was food; she ate to feel good about herself but soon found herself trapped in a cycle of bingeing and purging. Her struggle with weight led her to cigarettes, and soon enough, alcohol and drugs entered the picture.
Teenage years spent bar-hopping with friends left her feeling both invincible and broken. Despite the glamorous exterior, Alana was fighting a losing battle with addiction. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Alana opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction and her path to recovery. She shares candidly about her early experiences with substance abuse, the deceptive allure of feeling 'great' after a night of heavy drinking, and the harsh realities that followed.
Even as she graduated college as a high-functioning alcoholic, Alana knew something had to change. The turning point came when she hit rock bottom—a moment of clarity that propelled her toward recovery. With the support of loved ones and the tools she gained through her recovery journey, Alana found a new way of living. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of support systems.
For anyone grappling with addiction, Alana's story serves as a beacon of hope. It underscores that no matter your background or circumstances, recovery is possible with the right mindset and support. Tune in to hear Alana's inspiring journey from the highs of Manhattan's elite to the grounded reality of sobriety.
