About this listen

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the full timeline of my experience with addiction who I was before it took over, what my life actually looked like while I was in it, and what changed after I got sober.
I talk about the early behaviors I brushed off, the patterns that slowly became normal, and the way addiction reshaped my relationships, priorities, and sense of self. I also share what it felt like living in survival mode for so long, and how hard it was to admit that the life I was building wasn’t sustainable anymore.
This episode isn’t about a dramatic rock bottom or a clean redemption arc. It’s about the messy middle, the denial, the fear, the moments of clarity that didn’t last, and the quiet shift that eventually led me to choose sobriety. If you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol, or recognizing pieces of yourself in this story, you’re not alone.
