Celebrating three years of sobriety, Rachel shares her story with honesty and a touch of humour, making it relatable and inspiring for anyone on a similar path.

Rachel’s candid recounting of her experiences, from quitting softball to dealing with a toxic relationship, paints a vivid picture of the chaos that alcohol brought into her life. As COVID-19 hit and life became more isolated, Rachel's drinking escalated, leading to a pivotal intervention by her family. Her father’s emotional plea for her to seek help was a turning point, pushing her towards rehab and eventually into the supportive arms of Alcoholics Anonymous.

It’s a reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always a path to recovery filled with support and second chances.
