I have this proud exterior that can sometimes masquerade as arrogance. But if anybody knew me, it's just me holding myself together on the outside, because it's a mismatch on the inside, you know.
Imagine being a successful executive, yet secretly battling a relentless addiction. That's the story of Mischelle Moyer, who shares her deeply personal journey on this episode of 'Recovery Hour' with Lori Windfeldt. Mischelle opens up about her struggle with alcoholism, describing herself as a 'low-bottom drunk' who faced immense guilt and shame. Despite a high-pressure career where addiction was never discussed, Mischelle's drinking spiraled out of control, leading to severe health issues and multiple relapses.
Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of never giving up, even after six DUIs, three prison stints, twelve ICU visits, and two comas. It took her 17 years to string together three months of sobriety, but she now celebrates three years of being sober for the first time ever. Mischelle's journey is marked by inter-generational trauma involving sexual abuse and suicide, making her path to recovery even more challenging.
She candidly discusses the impact of addiction on her family relationships and the crucial role of forgiveness and self-love in her healing process. Writing has been a significant tool for Mischelle, helping her stay sober and process her experiences. Throughout the interview, Lori and Mischelle emphasize the importance of honesty and vulnerability in recovery, encouraging others to share their stories and find hope in the experiences of others.
Mischelle's plans to write a memoir highlight her commitment to healing and inspiring others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is. Mischelle's raw and real story offers hope and a reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how deep the struggle.
