I felt trapped with the alcohol and in the situation of not feeling supported in trying to get sober, I would get a couple of weeks under my belt and find alcohol in the house, and then I would rebel against that.
Imagine feeling out of place as early as fifth grade, and how that sense of isolation could spiral into something much darker. Gentry Jones knows this all too well. In this episode of 'Project Recovery', Gentry sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share her raw and inspiring journey. It all began with her parents' separation, leading her to experiment with alcohol by seventh grade, a habit that only intensified in college.
A wake-up call came in the form of alcohol poisoning, pushing Gentry to seek help at a recovery center. But it wasn't just the treatment that helped her; becoming a mother played a crucial role in curbing her alcohol abuse. Yet, what truly anchored her recovery was finding a deeper purpose in life.
Gentry opens up about how turning to social media provided an unexpected outlet for tackling her internal struggles and why she believes that a lapse doesn't necessarily mean a full relapse. Gentry's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about quitting substances but about discovering what makes life meaningful. She emphasizes the importance of purpose and accountability partners in navigating the rough waters of recovery, especially during challenging times like the pandemic.
Her candid reflections offer hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Gentry's heartfelt account and gain insights into the transformative power of finding your purpose.
