In this episode, Brooke shares her rocky journey with addiction which began in her teenage years following the loss of her father. Raised in a close-knit family, she first turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism during this painful time. As she grew older, her drinking habit escalated. Despite facing further life challenges, including a battle with cancer, Brooke continued drinking, often to cope with both physical and emotional pain. After hitting rock bottom, Brooke courageously chose to ask for help and entered a rehab program. Now over 400 days sober, Brooke is grateful for her new life and aims to support others dealing with addiction and this is Brooke’s story on the Sober Motivation podcast. -------------- 👉 Follow Brooke on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/brookekohl/ 👉 More information on SoberLink: www.soberlink.com/recover 👉 Grab Charmaine's ‘Delicious & Doable ~ Recipes For Real and Everyday Life’ Cookbook: 👇 https://www.amazon.ca/Delicious-Doable-Recipes-Real-Everyday/dp/1989304559 👉 Check out the Sober Motivation Shop: Click HERE Sober Motivation App on Apple App Store HERE Sober Motivation App on Google Play Store HERE Sober Motivation Website: https://www.sobermotivation.com Support the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/sobermotivation Contact me anytime: brad@sobermotivation.com Hosted on Acast.
