Even if alcohol doesn't destroy us, it will definitely stop us from reaching our potential.
Imagine finding yourself in a cycle of addiction after a life-changing surgery. That's what happened to Jeanna Fox, a college professor turned sobriety coach. In this episode of Tribe Sober, Jeanna sits down with host Janet Gourand to share her journey from gastric bypass surgery at 36 to battling an unexpected alcohol addiction. Despite her initial disbelief in the risks, Jeanna found herself turning to alcohol as a new coping mechanism, replacing overeating with drinking.
Jeanna's story is a raw and honest look at the unpredictable nature of addiction. Sometimes she would pass out after just one drink, while other times she could consume several without any immediate effects. This inconsistency led her to set up 'rules' to control her drinking, like only drinking at specific times or tipping bartenders to serve her non-alcoholic drinks. But, as many know, these rules rarely hold up against the pull of addiction.
Today, Jeanna uses her personal experiences to help other women navigate their own paths to recovery from addiction and childhood trauma. She emphasizes the importance of finding purpose and meaning in sobriety, encouraging others to see the potential they can achieve without alcohol holding them back. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, but it requires dedication and support.
Whether you're sober curious, in the early stages of quitting, or have been sober for years, Jeanna's insights offer valuable perspectives on overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear her full story and gain inspiration from someone who has walked the challenging path of recovery.
