I feel like I had this whole lifetime of like Christmases with all four of us, family vacations, there was a whole thing. And so I really knew what it felt like, still do, what it felt like to not have that. In fact, actually this year for the first year, I'm hoping I can go spend Christmas with my dad because I haven't spent Christmas with my dad since 1997, which is absurd.
Jeannine's story is one of those tales that grab you by the heart and don't let go. Growing up, she had what many would call an idyllic childhood, moving around but eventually settling in Georgia. However, life took a sharp turn when her parents divorced, plunging her into a whirlwind of self-destructive behavior. What started as a struggle with cocaine soon spiraled into battles with alcohol and heroin.
The consequences were severe—numerous run-ins with the law and even a period of homelessness, where she found herself living in a dog house. But Jeannine's journey didn't end there. In a remarkable twist of fate, she landed in a sober living facility, where her life began to change. This episode of 'Sober Motivation', hosted by Brad McLeod, dives deep into Jeannine's transformation from the depths of addiction to a life of gratitude and resilience.
Sober since January 15, 2015, Jeannine now views her past struggles as integral parts of her story, shaping her into the person she is today. If you're looking for a tale that mixes raw honesty with inspiring redemption, this episode is a must-listen. Jeannine's journey is a testament to the power of hope and the incredible strength it takes to turn one's life around.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, her story offers a beacon of light and a reminder that it's never too late to change.
