I think the restaurant industry kind of can lend yourself to being vulnerable, to getting emotionally attached to people, especially for feeling extra lonely, and so it just kind of for me, all went hand in hand: the need for male validation, the emotional attachments, and then and and the drinking, and then and then knowing in my head, well, that doesn't align with my values.
Ever thought about how tough it must be to stay sober while working in the restaurant industry? In this episode of 'Eternally Amy', Amy Liz Harrison sits down with Hilary Reichmann (Boyce), a passionate foodie, retreat chef, and server who's celebrating her sixth year of sobriety. Hilary opens up about her journey from the chaos of excessive drinking to finding balance and purpose, all while thriving in a high-pressure environment.
Hilary’s story mirrors Amy’s in many ways, from the pitfalls of mommy wine culture to the pivotal moments that led them both to seek help. The conversation gets real as they discuss the pressures unique to the hospitality world and the support offered by Ben’s Friends, a recovery group dedicated to those in the industry.
Hilary shares how she had to get brutally honest with herself, spurred on by the fear of losing her children and the push from her spouse. You'll find yourself nodding along as Hilary recounts her path to sobriety, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and honesty.
