I now feel so much more equipped to handle a tragedy in my life or whatever it's thrown at me because I don't have alcohol in my life. So I just don't want people to turn to it in bad times. And you don't need it for good times either. You'll get back to who you are at your core and give it time.
Michelle's story is a powerful testament to the impact of grief and the strength required to overcome addiction. Growing up in a small Delaware town, her life initially seemed typical, with social drinking being a part of her routine. However, as she became immersed in the 'mommy wine culture', her casual drinking habits began to escalate. The tragic loss of her brother Mickey further intensified her alcohol consumption, pushing her to dangerous levels of dependency.

She candidly shares how rehab and a firm commitment to sobriety helped her regain control of her life. Her journey underscores the importance of readiness and taking small, manageable steps towards recovery.
Michelle's resilience and determination offer a message of hope and healing for anyone facing similar struggles, reminding us that even in the face of personal tragedy, sobriety is within reach.
