Rachel started drinking and using drugs at 14. The substances helped keep her distracted from the internal pain different life events caused. The alcohol and drug use would carry on for many years and Rachel found herself lost in this great big world. The pandemic was a blessing. Rachel is forever grateful for her painful journey of addiction because her alcohol-free life would not mean anywhere near as much without the struggle beforehand. Rachel has been sober since January 3 2021 and this is her story on the sober motivation podcast. Rachel is the host of the Soberincentralpark on IG.
