188: Jen Hirst - Built from the Breakdown

Jen’s Rock Bottom: Mouthwash, Adderall, Two DWIs & the Sobriety “Closet” | Rock Bottom with RyanJen from Minnesota joins Rock Bottom with Ryan to share how alcohol became her drug of choice, worsened by Adderall introduced in college, and progressed over about 10 years into severe dependence with intense withdrawals, blackouts, two DWIs, job loss, homelessness in detox, and drinking mouthwash, vanilla extract, and rubbing alcohol. She describes multiple treatment attempts, relapse cycles, and how honesty with her husband about hidden Adderall use helped her finally surrender and commit to sobriety on April 24, 2013. Jen also explains having a second “sobriety date” on September 7, 2017, when she publicly shared her recovery, leading her from Beachbody coaching into sobriety-focused group coaching and a membership community. She discusses why successful women often hide alcohol struggles, emphasizes discomfort tolerance and “play the tape forward,” and outlines six daily habits: hydration, gratitude, reading, movement, afternoon protein, and daily community check-ins.00:00 Adderall and Drinking Shift01:04 Sponsor and Show Intro02:21 Meet Jen and Sober Date05:16 Growing Up and Perfectionism08:38 First Drinks at 1510:01 Heartbreak and Adderall Seed13:09 Withdrawals and Mouthwash18:26 Secrets Surrender and Detox26:38 Treatment Relapse and Recovery29:47 Treatment and Community31:24 Coming Out Sober35:10 Building a Sobriety Coaching Career38:49 Why Successful Women Hide Drinking41:10 Six Daily Habits Framework46:56 Social Media and Burnout53:19 Compassion for Your Past Self55:40 Discomfort and One Drink Trap59:01 Play the Tape Forward Quote01:01:41 Where to Find Jen01:02:06 Final Sign Off
