My last drink would be on June of, and the reason it was That Day is About A Week before that. I have shame over- as I drove home- yeah, don't remember getting home and gotten to bed and told my husband: oh, I didn't drink that much, you know, I'm just really tired from being in the sun and played it. You know, let this be the last time I can't do this anymore.
What happens when your life takes a sharp turn during a global crisis? For Michelle A., the pandemic was the catalyst that pushed her to confront her struggles with alcohol addiction and depression. Growing up in a family where humor often cut deep, and grappling with her closeted pansexuality, Michelle found herself sinking deeper into unhappiness. The loss of her dream job during the pandemic only made things worse, sending her spiraling down a dangerous path.
But Michelle's story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the remarkable turnaround that followed. In a twist of fate, her obsession with alcohol was lifted almost immediately after she decided to quit drinking, a rare but life-changing blessing. However, Michelle is quick to acknowledge that this isn't the norm for everyone battling addiction. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Sobriety Diaries', Michelle opens up about her journey to sobriety.

Going back to school has been a significant part of her recovery, allowing her to focus on personal growth and future aspirations. Michelle's story is both inspiring and relatable, offering hope and practical insights for anyone struggling with addiction.
Her candidness about her past and her ongoing efforts to build a better future make this episode a must-listen for those seeking encouragement and understanding in their own recovery journeys.
