I thought people were assholes and I was a victim of that...my drinking really took off. It was a really sick dynamic.
Imagine starting your journey with a simple mix of vodka and Sprite from your parents' freezer. For Jane, this seemingly innocent act marked the beginning of a long battle with alcohol. In this episode of 'Missed the Mark', Jane opens up about her path from addiction to recovery, painting a vivid picture of her highs and lows.
From a failed semester in college to a frightening bout of psychosis where she believed people were trying to poison her, Jane's story is raw and real. Her turning point came with the support of her aunt and finding solace in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). But it wasn't smooth sailing from there. The pandemic brought its own set of challenges, isolating Jane from her newfound sober community. Yet, she found strength in reaching out and building connections within her support network.
Jane's candid reflections emphasize the importance of asking for help and leaning on others during tough times. Her words, 'We're human, we need each other', resonate deeply, reminding us all of the power of community in the recovery process. This episode isn't just about Jane's struggles; it's a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, showing that recovery is possible with the right support.
