The Moment She Realized Alcohol Was Going to Kill Her

The Moment She Realized Alcohol Was Going to Kill Her

What happens when you come face to face with death and are forced to make a choice?


Ethan sits down with Jaimie Alexander to unpack a raw, deeply personal story about sobriety, self-worth, and survival. Jaimie opens up about being a highly functioning alcoholic, the quiet rationalizations that kept her drinking, and the medical crisis that nearly took her life. What followed was a moment of clarity that changed everything and led to a commitment she could not ignore. This conversation is honest, emotional, and unfiltered, exploring pain, meaning, and the power of choosing to stay.
