Summary
In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, host Brad welcomes Jane, who shares her compelling journey of growing up surrounded by alcohol, struggling to fit in, and eventually becoming dependent on alcohol herself. She recounts her early experiences with alcohol, the impact of her father's drinking, and her own struggles with binge drinking and blackouts. Jane talks about her attempts to moderate her drinking, the escalation in her twenties and thirties, and the impact on her relationships and motherhood. Despite the normalization of drinking in her circle, Jane eventually seeks help, leading her to Alcoholics Anonymous and ultimately finding sobriety with the help of Naltrexone. Now over two years sober, Jane discusses how she changed her life, started a business, and is helping others, particularly the youth, navigate their own journeys with alcohol.
