One for the Road: The Quit Drinking Podcast6 Nov

She Drank From 6 AM Until She Passed Out: 16 Years Without Alcohol, a Near-Fatal Relapse & Finding Sobriety Again

Angela’s battle with alcoholism reached the point where she was drinking from 6 AM until she passed out every night. Growing up with an alcoholic father, she had witnessed firsthand the devastation alcohol could cause, yet found herself trapped in the same cycle.

At 33, Angela entered treatment and began her recovery, eventually spending 16 years without alcohol. But after experiencing grief, overwhelming stress, and the pressures of running a successful business, she developed a devastating addiction to drugs and eventually returned to drinking.

Her addiction spiraled into a life-threatening overdose that left doctors fighting to save her life, restarting her heart three times.

In this episode of One for the Road, Angela opens up about alcoholism, the challenges of long-term sobriety, relapse, addiction, and the difficult journey of finding recovery again in her 50s.

Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far addiction takes you, change is still possible.
