In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Emily joins the show to share her powerful story of growing up with alcoholic parents, her own struggles with addiction, and the journey to sobriety. Emily recounts her move to Texas, feelings of disconnection, and major life challenges, including an unplanned pregnancy and battling an eating disorder. We explore Emily’s slow, nonlinear path of recovery after decades of chronic relapse, twenty institutions, a DUI with her child in the car, and ongoing neurological damage from alcohol use—all while mothering four children. She discusses her multiple stints in rehab and what led her to get sober again in 2016. Emily also speaks about her memoir, 'Wife, Mother, Drunk,' which explores her family's generational trauma, her personal experiences, and her path to healing and understanding.
