Summary

In this episode, we have Kristen, who had her first drink at 17, and her social anxiety seemed to melt away. After high school, she went off to college where binge drinking was normalized, and the party was always happening. Further down the road, she was prescribed Xanax to help with her anxiety and continued to drink alcohol. At first, she took it as prescribed, but soon found herself running out before she was due for a refill. Her parents are a massive WHY in her sobriety and life today, as they never gave up on supporting her to get the help she needed. With over 900 days of sobriety, this is Kristen’s story on the Sober Motivation Podcast.
