E246: Grateful, Not Special: Rebecca’s Recovery Story
Rebecca calls herself a “textbook alcoholic,” but her recovery journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode, she opens up about chasing the next big thing, hitting bottom, and finding freedom in sobriety. From navigating early recovery with overachiever energy (yes, she read the entire Big Book cover to cover) to surviving a literal hurricane without picking up a drink, Rebecca shares the lessons, struggles, and surprising gifts of staying sober.
We talk about the myth of “normal drinking,” why comparison is the thief of joy, and how choosing to reset and surrender can actually bring more peace and freedom. Rebecca’s story is honest, raw, and full of hope for anyone still wondering if life without alcohol can be fulfilling.
