After losing her mother to alcoholism and facing her own traumatic experiences, Susannah discovered that sobriety didn't magically solve all her problems, but it gave her the clarity to tackle them head-on. She emphasizes the vital role of therapy and the dangers of self-medicating with alcohol. Susannah also discusses the ups and downs of trying to moderate her drinking before fully committing to sobriety. Acceptance, she says, was a crucial part of her journey.
By tuning into podcasts and attending meetings, she found the support she needed to stay on track. Susannah’s experience highlights the importance of self-awareness and knowing oneself in creating a happy and meaningful life. If you're curious about how sobriety can lead to genuine happiness, this episode offers a heartfelt and inspiring perspective.
