Ditching the drink is like climbing a mountain. Here at Tribe Sober, we've climbed that mountain and we know the view from the top is amazing. And that's just for starters.
Imagine taking your first sip of alcohol at 14 and feeling an unsettling thrill rather than disgust. That's how Suzanna Porowski's journey with alcohol began. In this episode of Tribe Sober, Suzanna, a multi-talented artist and Tribe member, shares her story of navigating the tumultuous waters of alcohol dependency and finding her way to a sober life.
Suzanna's teenage years were marked by an eagerness to fit in, which often led her to bars and parties where drinking was the norm. Her father's drinking habits and her parents' divorce at 13 added to her struggles, pushing her to leave home early and seek solace in alcohol. By 16, she was not just drinking but also hosting late-night gatherings, normalizing risky behaviors like drinking and driving.
Her career as a choreographer at Club Med in Bermuda didn't escape the shadow of alcohol either. She created a rule for herself—drinking every other night—which, unsurprisingly, didn't solve the underlying issues. It was only when Suzanna joined Tribe Sober that she found the community support she needed. Here, she felt truly understood and could finally open up about her struggles.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how Suzanna recognized the warning signs of her drinking problems and the pivotal role that community support played in her recovery. She talks about the importance of accountability and how sharing her experiences helped her embrace a sober lifestyle. Suzanna's story is a testament to the transformative power of finding the right support system and recognizing when it's time to make a change.
If you're looking for inspiration or struggling with similar issues, Suzanna's journey might just resonate with you. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and found joy in sobriety.
