Sweetheart, the reason that you are acting like this is because you are sick and you are sad and angry and mad and you have lost a part of your soul that only a higher power can restore. Get back with your higher power.
Ever wondered how someone can rise from the depths of despair to find hope and healing? Justine S. shares her gripping journey on this episode of the '4th Dimensioners Podcast'. Growing up, Justine's family had it all—wealth, prestige, and comfort. But life took a harsh turn when her father, a local politician and lawyer, was impeached and disbarred due to his drinking.
The family lost everything, moving from a life of luxury to one of poverty and shame, relying on welfare and sleeping in front of a fireplace to keep warm. Justine's battle with alcohol began in college and spiraled out of control into adulthood. Daily binge drinking became her norm, leading to bizarre behavior and blackouts. The loss of her husband to esophageal cancer only deepened her dependence on alcohol as a way to numb her grief.
It was a dark time marked by mental health struggles and a personality that seemed to vanish in the haze of alcohol. But Justine's story isn't just about the struggle; it's about the fight back. Her turning point came when she admitted she had a problem and started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. With time, support from a sponsor, and a newfound faith in a higher power, Justine began her path to recovery.
Her tale is one of resilience, self-discovery, and the incredible transformation that comes from embracing sobriety. Join hosts Jessica M. and Mark C. as they sit down with Justine for an honest and heartfelt conversation. This episode is a raw, moving exploration of the challenges and triumphs faced on the road to recovery. If you're looking for a story that embodies hope and perseverance, Justine's journey is one you won't want to miss.
