Blackouts, Shame & the Illusion of Control | The Brutal Reality of Alcoholism

Jennifer grew up in a chaotic household with an alcoholic parent and perfectionist pressure driving her from a young age. Her journey took her from being a nationally ranked bowler on scholarship to the wild world of college sororities, drinking, and cocaine-fueled chaos. What began as casual partying quickly spiraled into blackouts, toxic relationships, and moments of incomprehensible demoralization—including a traumatic assault that left lasting scars. But Jennifer’s story doesn’t end there. At just 26 years old, she hit rock bottom and made the courageous decision to change her life. Now approaching two years of sobriety, Jennifer shares the raw truth of addiction, the shame she carried, the grace she found in recovery, and how God and accountability helped her rebuild her life. Her story is one of chaos, pain, self-awareness, and ultimately hope. If you or someone you know is struggling, this interview is proof that it’s never too late to rise above. #AddictionRecovery #SobrietyJourney #RiseAbovePodcast #TraumaHealing #AlcoholismRecovery #CocaineAddiction #SurvivorStory #MentalHealthAwareness #SoberLiving #FaithAndRecovery
