Personal growth after quitting drinking can take you somewhere you never imagined, even when you have no idea what comes next. If you're over 40 and wondering whether your best years are behind you, my dear, I want you to hear this story.
In this deeply personal episode, Becca shares the three distinct chapters of her life: her years in the sex trade, her career as a college professor while struggling with alcohol, and her unexpected leap into sobriety mentoring. Each new chapter began without a clear picture of what the future would hold. She simply knew something needed to change.
Becca gets honest about depression, shame, binge drinking, the terrifying experience of nearly losing everything she'd worked for, and the gradual realization that even a successful life can stop feeling like your own. She also shares how leaving the security of academia led her toward a life that feels more meaningful and alive.
Here's the heart of it: you don't have to figure out your entire future before you begin. You just need to take the first step, get the support you need, and allow yourself to grow into the woman you're becoming.
Settle in, take a deep breath, and come listen. Your next chapter may surprise you.
