I was waking up drinking, just drinking, and then, by the time he would get home, I would be a wreck and I would run to the busiest street by our house and have thoughts of just throwing myself in front of the next car.
Shay Mitchell’s life has been a rollercoaster, from the depths of childhood trauma to the highs of becoming a certified sober coach. In this episode of 'Salty Moms Gone Sober', Shay sits down with hosts Alyssa and Bree to unpack her journey. Her story is a raw and honest look at the struggles of addiction and the triumphs of recovery. Shay opens up about her past, sharing how her early experiences shaped her path towards addiction and eventually, sobriety.
She talks about the various forms of therapy that have helped her, including an intensive outpatient program, and how peer support has been a cornerstone in her recovery. Social media, particularly Instagram, has played a significant role in connecting her with others on similar journeys. Now training to be a certified peer support specialist, Shay aims to bridge the gap between clinical workers and clients.
She passionately believes in the importance of defining sobriety on one’s own terms, saying, 'No one gets to choose what sober means for anyone else'. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the power of community, the evolving field of sober coaching, and the personal strength required to maintain long-term sobriety. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or supporting someone who is, Shay's insights offer hope and practical advice.
