Welcome back to season four of the Super Motivation Podcast.

Join me, Brad, each week as my guests and I share incredible and powerful sobriety stories.

We're here to show sobriety as possible, one story at a time.

Let's go.

In this episode of the podcast, Laura shares her story of growing up with lots of rules

and a strong spiritual background

in a small town in West Virginia. Struggling with anxiety and perfectionism throughout her

childhood in high school years, Laura's life took a turn when she started drinking,

alcohol, and college. She describes how alcohol initially seemed to provide relief and confidence,

but quickly led to blackout

episodes and further emotional and legal troubles. Laura discusses her journey towards sobriety

and then having a relapse and then getting back at it. And this is Laura's story on a

Super Motivation podcast. Well, here it is episode number two of this week anyway. Laura, joining me on this episode.

Incredible story. Thank you so much, Laura, for jumping on here to share. I want to mention

something before we jump into it, some to think about. Maybe if you're in this spot where

things are not working out with alcohol for your sobriety journey the way you want it to.

I think for a lot of us, we invested a lot of time in drinking, whether it be the binge

drinking of a couple days.

And when I say the drinking, like, I'm also talking about the hangover and the recovery.

I want you just to think about your own journey.

If you're struggling with this and ask yourself this one question.

How much time and effort am I putting into this whole sober alcohol-free thing to work out for me?
