I just kind of realized: wow, not a lot of good has come of this using the substance in my life and I'm hurting the ones that I love. And I just said you know what I think I'm going to stop drinking.
Emily’s story is one many can relate to, especially those juggling the pressures of motherhood and the gnawing anxiety that often accompanies it. Her drinking habits began in college, filled with wild parties and reckless abandon. But as life progressed, her relationship with alcohol took a darker turn. The carefree college days gave way to the overwhelming responsibilities of being a working mom, and with it came a new chapter of stress-induced drinking.
Emily’s story takes a poignant twist when she recalls waking up after another night of heavy drinking to find her young daughter in tears, confused and frightened by the person she had become. This moment of clarity, seeing the pain in her daughter’s eyes, became the catalyst for change. Determined to be a better mother and person, Emily embarked on her journey to sobriety. In this episode of 'A Sober Story Podcast', Emily shares how she tackled her addiction head-on.
She quit smoking and drinking simultaneously, leaning on support groups, apps, and sheer willpower to stay sober. Her story underscores the significant impact of anxiety and motherhood on drinking habits but also highlights the power of community and family support in overcoming addiction. Emily’s journey is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of love and determination.
If you’re navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Emily’s story offers hope and practical insights into making meaningful changes.
