Summary

Alcohol was such a small part of Suzzane’s personal life for so long. Throughout her teens, 20’s and even her 30s Suzzane had so many other priorities and challenges in her life that alcohol just didn’t factor in. In her 40’s something shifted and she found herself trading bulimia for alcohol addiction. Listen in as Suzzanne and Annie discuss how avoidance and hiding from emotions can lead us to an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, how alcohol can quickly go from being insignificant to an issue, moving past the shame that keeps us stuck, and how relationships can evolve and grow through this journey.
