I did like drinking because it, um, it calmed me. And so it did things for you that you couldn't do for yourself.
Imagine growing up on a dairy farm in small-town America, the eldest of three siblings, and the quintessential go-getter. That's Jackie L's early life in a nutshell. In this episode of 'The Way Out Podcast', host Charlie L sits down with Jackie to unravel her journey from a seemingly idyllic childhood to the throes of alcohol addiction. Jackie, who once prided herself on being a 'goody two-shoes' who didn't drink, found herself jonesing for that first drink each morning.
How did it come to this? Jackie opens up about how alcohol slowly became her coping mechanism, transforming from an occasional indulgence into a daily necessity. She shares candidly about the toll it took on her relationships and overall well-being. But this isn't just a story of struggle; it's also one of resilience and recovery. Being a woman in recovery comes with its own set of challenges, and Jackie doesn't shy away from discussing them.
She talks about the importance of finding a support system and how crucial it was for her sobriety journey. Her story is both inspiring and informative, shedding light on the complexities of addiction and the power of community in overcoming it. If you're grappling with alcoholism or know someone who is, Jackie's story offers valuable insights and hope. Tune in to hear her compelling journey and discover how she turned her life around.
