I was really good about giving unconditional love, but receiving it was very, very, very hard because it always came with conditions.
Imagine growing up in a world where addiction is the norm and your own mother encourages you to drink. That was Rachel R's reality. Raised in a tough neighborhood plagued by drugs, alcohol, and teenage pregnancy, Rachel's childhood was anything but easy. Her parents battled their own addictions, and racial slurs were a regular part of her life. After a tough breakup, Rachel found herself drowning in binge drinking and self-destructive behavior.
But one day, as she nursed yet another brutal hangover, she decided enough was enough. She turned to a higher power for help and began her journey to sobriety. Rachel didn't just stop at quitting alcohol; she dove deep into healing her childhood traumas and rebuilding her life. She turned to 'quit lit' and healing crystals for support and slowly started to mend the broken pieces of her past.
Today, Rachel is a life coach through A Sober Girl's Guide, hosting weekly support circles for women facing similar struggles. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of sobriety and the importance of community in recovery. Rachel's journey highlights how our past can shape our struggles with addiction but also shows that it's never too late to seek help and make a change.
Her passion for coaching and helping others is palpable, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or looking to turn their life around.
