Addiction- I always say this, it's sobriety- provided me the space to really dig deep and figure out what was going on within me.
Ever felt trapped by circumstances beyond your control? Christina knows that feeling all too well. Growing up in a military family, she moved every two years, never settling long enough to find herself. At just 16, she entered a long-term relationship, further clouding her sense of identity. College brought heavy drinking, and a corporate job where alcohol was a staple only worsened her habit.
The birth of her daughter should have been a joyful time, but undiagnosed postpartum depression made things unbearable. By the time her daughter was three, Christina was rushing bedtime to spend the night drinking. Realizing her marriage was on the line, she decided to quit alcohol and sought therapy to confront her childhood sexual abuse. Though her marriage ended, Christina’s sobriety stood firm. Today, she's the force behind @sisters_n_sobriety on Instagram, a community for Black moms battling addiction without shame.
Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of community support. Christina's journey underscores the importance of addressing mental health and addiction openly, particularly in communities where stigma is prevalent. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and continues to inspire others.
