Sally's story of alcoholism began with a wine cooler at the age of 13 -- the drinks provided by a mother of her teenage friend!
Her story is quite different from "Eric's" who told us in Part 1 of this four -part series about being a high-functioning alcoholic. He operated mostly under the radar until a serious health issue ultimately led him to Alcoholics Anonymous and sobriety. https://player.captivate.fm/episode/9669a7d4-bb47-438a-b33a-8de7cdb43f5a/
In Sally's case, she behaved in very dangerous behaviors with many difficult consequences until she decided to get help. Her story is powerful and profound.
In part 3, we talk with "Jane" whose story is not about being an alcoholic. It's about living with and loving others who are alcoholics and learning ways to cope.
We conclude the four-part series by talking with an expert on addition. We'll talk about the ways in which alcoholism is a disease and what strategies may or may not work with getting sober.
If you -- or someone you know -- may be looking for help in dealing with alcoholism, please contact Alcoholics Anonymous, Al Anon, or ACoA (Adult Children of Alcoholics).
There are weekly meetings everywhere, available through searching for the organizations above, and help is also available thru Zoom meetings for those who prefer.
