One day at a time. Don't worry about the future. Don't worry about what you've done. Maybe not the next day, but, you know, a couple of days down the track you might. And that's honestly the only way that I managed to do it and I don't know that I'm that much different from anyone else. But, yeah, it just, that stuff is not going to go away.
Elizabeth's story is a rollercoaster of addiction, struggle, and ultimately, redemption. Starting from her first drink at 15, she battled substance abuse for decades, sinking deeper into the grips of alcohol and heroin. By the time she hit 53, Elizabeth was broken and desperate for help. But her journey to sobriety wasn't a straightforward path; it was filled with false starts and relapses.

In this episode, Elizabeth opens up about her long road to recovery, sharing the raw and real moments that defined her journey. She talks about the importance of taking it 'one day at a time' and how meditation helped her find clarity and peace.

Listeners will hear how Elizabeth pursued education during her recovery, earning a Bachelor's degree and now working towards a Master's. Her candid account serves as a powerful reminder that it's never too late to start over and that recovery is possible with resilience and support.
If you're looking for an inspiring tale of hope and transformation, this episode is a must-listen. Elizabeth's journey underscores the message that no matter how far you've fallen, there's always a way back up.
