Imagine growing up in a home where alcohol was as common as water. Marianne did just that. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, she opens up about her early encounters with alcohol and how it shaped her life. Marianne doesn't remember her first drink, but she does recall the ever-present wine glass at dinner parties, even as a child. Her parents, both heavy drinkers, normalized alcohol in their household.
By high school, Marianne's casual sips had escalated into a full-blown problem. She had dreams of becoming a nun, but an 18th birthday cocktail led her down a different path—one filled with constant drinking and missed opportunities. College didn't change her habits; in fact, it made them worse. Despite health issues and dangerous incidents, like blacking out and waking up with scratches from crawling over a barbed wire fence, Marianne continued to drink.
This episode isn't just about her struggles but also her journey towards sobriety. It's a raw and honest look at how deeply ingrained habits can take over your life and what it takes to reclaim control. Perfect for anyone grappling with their own issues or supporting someone who is.
