She Thought She Was Stronger Than Alcohol | From Relapse to Recovery

She Thought She Was Stronger Than Alcohol | From Relapse to Recovery

Trisha never thought alcohol would take over her life.


She survived three brain surgeries, built a successful barber shop, and raised two daughters as a single mom. When life became overwhelming, alcohol started as a way to cope with stress. Within months, she was physically dependent—drinking before work just to stop her hands from shaking.

In this honest conversation, Trisha shares how alcohol slowly took control, the guilt of losing her daughters’ trust, rehab, relapse, and the moment she realized there was no such thing as moderation for her.


Today, she’s rebuilding her life one day at a time through recovery, AA, faith, community, and a commitment to becoming the mom her daughters remember.

If you’ve ever wondered how someone can go from managing life to needing alcohol just to function—or you’re trying to quit drinking yourself—this episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how far you’ve fallen.

In this episode:

• Growing up in a military family in Okinawa, Japan

• Surviving three brain surgeries and overcoming prescription opioid dependence

• How stress, divorce, and business ownership fueled alcohol addiction

• High-functioning alcoholism and morning withdrawals

• Rehab, relapse, and starting over

• Rebuilding trust with family after addiction

• Finding hope through AA, faith, meditation, and community


Recovery isn’t about never falling. It’s about choosing to get back up.
