Life was changing a bit and I started to become okay with who I was right. But I also want to ask you about what steps were taken before that, because chances are that wasn't your first choice.
What happens when one addiction morphs into another? Pat's story on Steppin' Out Radio offers a raw and honest look at this very journey. Battling food addiction for most of her life, Pat turned to food whenever she felt rejected or guilty, eventually gaining over a hundred pounds. After undergoing bariatric surgery, she shed the weight but soon found herself facing a new battle—alcoholism.
As a post-gastric bypass patient, alcohol hit her harder and faster, offering the same comfort food once did. Pat opens up about how these addictions impacted her relationships and her mental health. She discusses the surprising connection between sugar and alcohol cravings and the emotional toll addiction took on her life. Through the 12-step program, Pat found support and learned the importance of self-acceptance.
Her journey from food addiction to alcohol recovery is filled with setbacks and triumphs, showing that transformation is possible. Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Pat's story is a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of resilience.
