Today, I do believe that I could potentially be a parent, should I choose to go that route. I understand that if I'm sober, I can really do anything in the world.
What does it take to turn your life around after battling a severe illness caused by alcohol? In this eye-opening episode of 'Sober Gratitudes', host Sarah Elizabeth sits down with Jessica Dueñas, who shares her raw and powerful story of overcoming alcoholic hepatitis. Featured in a recent NPR article highlighting the alarming rise in alcoholic liver disease among young women, Jessica’s journey is both a cautionary tale and a beacon of hope.
From the debilitating symptoms of the disease, like crippling anxiety and swollen extremities, to the emotional toll of seven hospitalizations, Jessica’s path to recovery was anything but easy. Yet, through therapy, a dedicated recovery program, and building her own 'toolbox' for sobriety, she found a way to reclaim her life. Jessica opens up about the importance of being vulnerable and leaning on others for support, as well as the necessity of shedding shame and stigma.
Her story is a testament to the transformative power of sobriety and the endless possibilities it can bring. Tune in to hear how Jessica not only survived but now thrives, living a clean and healthy life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on the road to recovery.
