Her Alcohol Addiction Led to Multi-Organ Failure — Now She’s 6 Years Sober

Her Alcohol Addiction Led to Multi-Organ Failure — Now She’s 6 Years Sober

Malin’s alcohol addiction progressed to the point where she was drinking more than 30 beers a day. She stopped eating, gained more than 90kg, vomited blood regularly, and eventually a doctor warned her that if she continued drinking, he didn’t expect to see her the following year.

Then her body shut down.

In early 2020, Malin was hospitalized with multi-organ failure and just 11% lung capacity. She was placed into a medically induced coma and wouldn’t fully wake up for nearly two months. When she did, surviving was only the beginning—she had to begin the long process of rebuilding her body and learning to walk again.

Today, Malin is 6 years sober and works with people struggling with addiction, using her experience to challenge the stigma surrounding alcohol addiction and recovery.

In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Malin shares the progression of her drinking, the warning signs she ignored, what happened when alcohol nearly took her life, and what she’s learned rebuilding her life in sobriety.
