Brandi's story of alcoholism: what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now. This episode tells my story, birth-present. It covers early signs of seeking to escape, life events that led to heavier than social drinking and when I realized I couldn't stop. I also explain the details of getting sober, the pain of relapse and the ultimate surrender that has kept me sober for 2 years now. There's more to this story, but for today I only share MY ACTIONS. I do my best to leave others and their actions out of my experience because ultimately it was my choices that determined my outcomes. I also talk about what it's like trying to get and stay sober in the service industry. Bartending sober isn't always easy but it's definitely worth it!
