Episode Overview

I knew I needed help for my own alcoholism when I was 22 years old and started on that journey and went straight to AA.
In this episode of 'This is Your Wake-Up Call', we meet Jordan, a young woman with a remarkable story of resilience and transformation. From drawing tombstones in Kindergarten to finding laughter in a sober household, Jordan's journey is a testament to the power of recovery and the impact of supportive adults. When her principal recognised the rage and fear she exhibited, it set off a chain of events that helped her escape an abusive environment.
Despite both parents being alcoholics, Jordan's mother found recovery, which planted the seeds for Jordan's own path to sobriety. At 22, she turned to AA and started to untangle the complex web of emotions and behaviours tied to her upbringing. Jordan shares how she navigated her way through early sobriety, dealing with the darkness and depth that many around her didn't seem to experience.
Her story is filled with moments of self-discovery, such as realising the importance of setting boundaries and understanding her own body and mental responses. She speaks candidly about the challenges of maintaining relationships with family members who are still struggling with addiction and the hard-won serenity that comes from prioritising her own well-being.
This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about abstaining from alcohol but also about healing from past traumas and building a life filled with genuine self-esteem and peace. Tune in to hear Jordan's inspiring journey and gain insights into the transformative power of recovery.
