I totally get why people relapse, because there are points in my sobriety that it's challenged so hard that I'm that close to picking up a drink, and by God's divine intervention I don't, because he acts when I cannot act.
Ever wondered what comes next after getting sober? Crystal Morrell dives into this very question in her chat with Melissa Gissy Witherspoon on 'Sober Onions'. Melissa, who has battled over two decades of substance abuse and faced numerous setbacks, including multiple arrests and failed sobriety attempts, shares her incredible story of recovery. From hitting rock bottom to finding a new lease on life, Melissa’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience and hope.
Now living in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with her husband and two youngest children, Melissa balances her role as a mother with her work at Holy Family Catholic Church. Her book, 'I'm Sober... Now What?', explores the often unspoken challenges of life after addiction. In this episode, she and Crystal discuss the critical role of community support, self-care, and the therapeutic power of writing. Melissa’s candid reflections offer valuable insights for anyone navigating their own path to sobriety.
