How does one navigate the treacherous waters of addiction, particularly alcoholism, and find a path to recovery? Tune in as we engage in a candid discussion with our brave guest who recounts her battle with alcohol addiction. She shares personal insights into her journey, from social drinking to consuming alcohol before lunch and at work, leading to strained relationships and a marriage on the brink of collapse. But her story is one of resilience; from the ashes of addiction, she rose, bolstered by a global pandemic and a life-altering news - her pregnancy.

Our guest's openness doesn't stop at her struggles with alcohol. We delve into her experiences with pregnancy amidst her journey to sobriety. Hear how she found solace and companionship in an obstetrician's office and a mom's group. We explore the complexities of juggling the new roles of motherhood with sobriety, and quitting smoking, all within the confines of a global pandemic. It's a tale of carving out a unique path of recovery and discovering strength in unexpected places.

We round off our discussion by highlighting the profound importance of lifelong relationships formed during recovery. The power of venting, the relief of having someone who understands your struggles, the value of expert support - these are the pillars of successful recovery. Reflect with us on the joys of motherhood, the power of trusting oneself, and the importance of a balanced routine. And, as a side note, discover how Bob's Burgers can inspire one's dinner plans!
