In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Michelle courageously shares her battle with alcohol. Growing up in a small town in Delaware, Michelle had a seemingly 'normal' life. Although initially, her consumption was socially oriented, as her environment and stress levels changed, she found herself caught up in mommy wine culture and her alcohol dependence grew, increasing after the death of her brother Mickey. Consumed with grief and facing multiple personal challenges, her alcohol consumption escalated to a dangerous level, causing her to seek help eventually. Through her stay at rehab and firm commitment, she reclaimed control of her life, emphasizing the importance of readiness, taking small steps towards sobriety, and drawing strength from personal tragedies. --------------- Check out the NEW SoberBuddy Platform- https://community.yoursoberbuddy.com Connect with Michelle on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/belmontlegends/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sobermotivation/ 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.
