I wasn't out barhopping and having fun, I was drinking in my closet alone.
Imagine feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, juggling the roles of a wife, mother, and professional, only to find solace in a bottle of wine. This was Michelle Smith's reality. In this episode of 'Sober Nation FM', Michelle opens up about her struggle with alcohol abuse, which saw her drinking alone in her closet to escape life's pressures. Her story is a raw and honest portrayal of how addiction can infiltrate even the most seemingly ordinary lives.
Michelle recounts her journey through multiple hospital visits, in-patient rehabs, and even encounters with Child Protective Services. It was only when she surrendered to the reality that she couldn't control her drinking that she began to find hope. Through the support of a 12-Step program, Michelle discovered the power of connecting with other women who understood her struggles without judgment.
Now three years sober, Michelle has turned her life around and founded 'Recovery is The New Black', where she counsels and coaches other moms on finding alternatives to a culture that often glorifies alcohol as a motherhood accessory. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, showing that recovery is possible with self-forgiveness, community support, and taking it one day at a time.
If you're looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and transformation, Michelle's journey offers valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of sobriety.
