Those Days add up and then life starts to happen and get better and you're able to create this new life for yourself that you never thought was imaginable.
Imagine reaching a point where alcohol dictates every aspect of your life. For Melissa, this was her reality. She relied on a liter of vodka daily to escape her emotions and cope with life's challenges. Her addiction led to severe health issues, including seizures that landed her in the hospital, intubated and restrained. This was her lowest point, her rock bottom. But that's not where her story ends.
Now, over five years sober, Melissa is a registered nurse, happily married, and a new mother. Her journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of change. In this episode, Melissa opens up about her struggles with alcohol, the toll it took on her mental health, and the pivotal moment that made her realize she needed to change.
She discusses the importance of finding your 'why' in recovery, the coping mechanisms that helped her, and the role of honesty and accountability in her healing process. Melissa's story is a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar battles. It's a reminder that no matter how deep the hole you're in, there's always a way out. Tune in to hear Melissa's inspiring journey and discover how you too can take steps towards a healthier, happier life.
