Summary
In this episode, we have my friend Alison. Growing up, her father struggled with alcohol, and it created a ripple effect in her life. At 20 years old, she got married and just celebrated 21 years of marriage, but it didn’t come without its challenges. Shortly after, she welcomed three beautiful children into the world and was busy raising them while running a very successful business. In her 30s, feeling the pressures of life, she realized alcohol would drown out the noise and provide a sense of relief. After a home detox and a life long battle with alcohol, her father suddenly passed away, and she took an honest look at her own relationship with alcohol. This is Alison’s story on the Sober Motivation podcast.
