I'd actually realized that I was an alcoholic back in 2011. But then I had long discussions with myself that I had not been partying every weekend. But yeah, I knew I was very honest when people ask me questions, it was so much better when I didn't answer your hi days, you know, less stressful, even though it's a living hell.
Imagine starting to drink at 13 and finding yourself in a coma years later due to severe alcoholism. That's Mailinn Hamre's story, and it's nothing short of miraculous. In this episode of 'Sober Motivation', Brad McLeod sits down with Mailinn, who opens up about her journey from consuming up to 17 litres of beer or 4 litres of vodka a day to celebrating over three years of sobriety.
Mailinn's drinking escalated when she turned 18, the legal age for purchasing alcohol in Norway. What began as a way to fit in with friends spiraled into a life-threatening dependency. Her health deteriorated so badly that her doctor didn't expect her to live another year. After months of severe illness, Mailinn fell into a coma that lasted three months. Yet, against all odds, she emerged from that coma and began a path to recovery.
Now three years sober, Mailinn shares the raw details of her struggle and the turning points that led her to reclaim her life. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is hope. She talks about the support systems that helped her, the moments of clarity that pushed her forward, and the daily battles she still faces.
If you're looking for a story that proves the resilience of the human spirit, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Mailinn's experience offers inspiration and practical insights into overcoming addiction.
