At 29 years old, Christine’s alcohol addiction led to liver and kidney failure. Her brain was swelling, she had lost the ability to walk, and doctors told her family she may have only 48 hours to live.
Christine survived, but that still wasn’t the end of her drinking.
In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Christine shares how drinking progressed from teenage experimentation to physical alcohol dependence, withdrawal and eventually drinking nearly a bottle of vodka a day. She opens up about the denial that kept her stuck, the devastating health consequences of alcohol addiction, her relapse after nearly dying and the mental health crisis that followed.
Christine eventually reached a point where she knew something had to change. On December 15, 2021, she decided to give sobriety another chance.
Today, she shares how community, self-compassion and doing the deeper work helped her build a life in recovery that she once couldn’t imagine.
If you are struggling to quit drinking, have experienced relapse, or are wondering if it’s possible to rebuild your life after alcohol addiction, Christine’s story is a powerful reminder to keep going.
