The more I hated myself, the more I drank, and the more I drank the more I hated myself and it became a vicious cycle that I couldn’t stop.
Karen C. opens up about her struggle with alcoholism, revealing a story that many can relate to but few talk about openly. Even before she ever took a sip, Karen battled with deep self-loathing. On the outside, she appeared to have it all together, but inside, she was falling apart. Alcohol initially seemed like a way to escape these feelings, but it quickly turned into a daily necessity, especially after she stopped breastfeeding her child.
Her drinking spiraled into a vicious cycle: the more she drank, the more she hated herself, and the more she hated herself, the more she drank. It was a relentless loop that she couldn't break on her own. In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Karen shares how she finally found a way out through the support of AA.
She speaks candidly about the importance of surrendering to a higher power and letting go of the need to control everything. By attending meetings and finding a sponsor, Karen began to rebuild her life piece by piece. Her journey is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding self-acceptance and learning to live authentically. Karen's story serves as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, even when it feels like all hope is lost.
Her transformation from living a double life to embracing genuine freedom is both inspiring and humbling. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Karen's experience offers valuable insights and a beacon of hope.
