From hiding alcohol bottles to sobriety with Christine
In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, I sit down with Christine, a resilient mother and former nurse, who shares her compelling journey from a childhood affected by her father's alcoholism to her own struggles with addiction. Christine opens up about the challenges of growing up in a loving yet dysfunctional household, the impact of her father's early death, and eventually her own battle with substance abuse. She details her difficult path to recovery, which included losing her nursing license, the toll it took on her family, and her turning points. Christine discusses finding peace and purpose through sobriety, the support of her family, and the importance of honesty and community in her recovery journey.
