So I actually made two promises to myself in that moment. And I understand them to be relatively radical now in the kind of traditional recovery narrative. But at the time, I didn't know anything about anything. So I was just on my own little trip, right? But these promises were that I was going to stop beating myself up. I was going to stop trying to stop drinking and let the cards fall where they would fall.
What happens when a high-flying career collides with a hidden struggle with alcohol? Annie Grace knows this all too well. At just 26, she became the youngest Vice President at a multinational company, but her professional success came with a heavy price.

Annie's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about challenging societal beliefs and emotional ties to addiction. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Annie's insights offer a fresh and empowering perspective on recovery.
