From Blackout Drinking to 6 Years Sober | Carmella’s Story
About this episode
Carmela grew up seeing firsthand what alcohol addiction could do to a family and was determined she would never follow the same path.
But what started as social drinking eventually became drinking at home, blackouts, anxiety and years of questioning whether she had a problem with alcohol.
There was no dramatic rock bottom. Carmela simply reached a point where she knew she was done.
Now more than six years sober, she joins Dave to share how she quit drinking, what finally made sobriety stick, and why removing alcohol was only the beginning of rebuilding her life.
If you’ve ever questioned your drinking, tried to moderate, or wondered whether you need to hit rock bottom to get sober, this episode is for you.
