Nancy McKay shares her own journey of getting to her "rock bottom" of a failed suicide attempt and realizing her drinking days needed to be over. While she had help from another person in recovery using traditional methods, Nancy realized that her path to getting healthy would be somewhat different. She now helps others traveling the same path through her life and equine coaching.
Kim and Nancy discuss her journey with alcoholism and her views on what works for some people may not work for everyone. She also talks about using equine therapy and how horses can help us heal.
If you believe you may be struggling with alcohol, Nancy has 6 questions to help you take an honest look at your relationship with alcohol. You can find it on her website by clicking HERE.
