Episode How I Got Sober After Drinking Alcohol for 30 Years | Elisa’s Sober Story

0:00 1:02:18

Elisa drank alcohol for 30 years.

What started as relief from childhood trauma slowly turned into alcohol addiction, DUIs, broken relationships, and a life she says she barely remembers.

At eight years old, Elisa testified in court against someone in her own family. Growing up afraid and feeling like she didn’t belong, alcohol became the thing that finally quieted the fear.

In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Elisa shares her recovery story—how childhood trauma shaped her addiction, why alcohol felt like the answer, her struggles with alcoholism, and the spiritual and emotional healing that helped her get sober.

We also discuss recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), EMDR therapy, relapse, grief, and what it means to build a life worth staying sober for.

If you’re struggling with alcohol, questioning your drinking, or looking for hope in recovery, this episode is for you.
