Episode For Hillary Admitting She Was An Alcoholic Had To Happen
In this episode of the Podcast, Hillary shares her deeply personal story of growing up in a chaotic household and transitioning into a life filled with alcohol and drugs from high school onwards. She details the impact of her heavy drinking, including a DUI at 19 and the evolution of her drinking from a social activity to an isolated one. Her turning point comes after reading a relatable sober story and attending a meeting, though she relapses after four months of initial sobriety. Ultimately, a tough experience in Mexico leads her to recommit to sobriety. Now, with over three years of sobriety, Hillary reflects on the authentic joy and happiness she's found without alcohol, reshaping her identity and recovering out loud.
