174: Alice in Wonderland

From Party Girl to Recovery: Alice on Cocaine, Alcohol, Trauma & Finding Hope | Rock Bottom with RyanIn this episode of Rock Bottom with Ryan, Alice from Cheltenham, UK shares her recovery story, including childhood trauma, early rebellion and trouble with authority, and how alcohol and cocaine became her drugs of choice. She describes first drinking at 13, seeking out drugs, and a chaotic progression into heavy partying, stripping from age 18, and escalating use during COVID, including spending hundreds of pounds a week, morning drinking/using, paranoia, and repeated benders. Alice discusses a failed attempt at sobriety, dangerous withdrawal symptoms, a one-night relapse at 99 days, and ultimately committing to 12-step recovery with support from sober connections. She explains why she began sharing on social media after a year sober, navigating sober events like weddings, and how exercise, routines, and upcoming psychotherapy help her manage anxiety and trauma in recovery.00:00 Early Sobriety Wake Up00:53 Starting Recovery Content01:13 Podcast Intro Sponsor02:33 Meet Alice Her Story04:12 Childhood Trauma Roots06:24 School Fear Rebellion09:01 Trouble With Police12:12 First Drink Red Flags14:11 Teen Drinking Escalates18:54 Stripping Scene Addiction22:28 Lockdown Court Case Spiral23:41 Relationships Secrecy Costs25:52 Habit Spending Breakdown26:54 Dry January Breakdown30:23 Finding Recovery Support33:39 Relapse and Commitment35:55 Sober Weddings Reality41:02 Therapy and Career Shifts44:31 Managing Anxiety Sober46:16 Worst Day vs Best Day50:18 Advice and Farewell
