And yeah, it's exciting, you know, like, when you finally get to that point of understanding of why it really isn't good for you to drink, you know, and knowing, like a lot of my friends sometimes that don't understand how it's program works, or just how you know addiction works or any of these things, because they're able to have one drink or a nice glass of wine with dinner like that's cool, like I can't do that.
Monalisa's story is one of resilience and transformation. In this episode of The Pink Cloud Podcast, she opens up about her journey from the disciplined world of the military to the unpredictable path of sobriety and motherhood. Monalisa's drinking habit took root while she was stationed overseas, a coping mechanism that soon spiraled out of control. A pivotal moment forced her to reevaluate her life, leading her to the brave decision to quit drinking. But quitting was just the beginning.
Monalisa delves into the emotional and psychological hurdles she faced, including the lingering impact of witnessing her grandfather's tragic death as a child. Balancing the expectations of her family and society with her own needs was another significant challenge. She speaks candidly about how addiction strained her relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. Yet, it's her decision to prioritize her recovery that has allowed her to become a better mother and rediscover her passions.
Monalisa shares practical advice on navigating social situations while sober, emphasizing the importance of finding a supportive community and setting boundaries. Her story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, reminding us that recovery is possible and it's never too late to seek help.
