If I don't build a life that's good enough to stick around in this deal, I'm not really going to be motivated, you know, to stay sober, because otherwise why, for me, why get sober?
Crystal Waltman’s life was a whirlwind of achievements and hidden struggles. As a teenager, she was a varsity volleyball player at just fourteen, juggling the intense pressures of competition and the social anxieties that came with it. To cope, she turned to drinking, a habit that followed her into college and beyond. The cycle of 'playing hard, studying hard, and blacking out' became her norm.
But things took a turn when she became a mom and found herself entangled in the 'Mommy wine culture'. Desperate for change, Crystal sought help from a neighbor and attended her first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, marking the beginning of her sobriety journey on March 22, 2015. In this episode of Sober Nation FM, Crystal opens up about her battle with addiction and the pivotal moments that led her to embrace sobriety.
She shares how fitness and nutrition have become vital components of her recovery, offering listeners practical advice on building a fulfilling life without alcohol. Crystal also explores the connection between high-achieving personalities and addiction, providing valuable insights for those who may be walking a similar path. Today, Crystal is not just surviving but thriving as a coach, public speaker, and author of 'Quitting to Win'. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of asking for help.
If you’re looking for inspiration or practical tips on maintaining sobriety, this episode is a must-listen. Crystal’s journey reminds us all that it's never too late to turn things around and build a life worth staying sober for.
