Jodi grew up in an environment where alcohol was prevalent, so seeing this while growing up, it felt normal to her. When she turned 17 and moved out on her own, she continued the tradition of wine drinking. Always the life of the party, it was difficult for her to resist what she had considered such a good time for so long. Jodi was a go-getter in life, always managing to keep it together just enough to prevent everything from falling apart. As she grew older, alcohol seemed to consistently be a part of her life. When she became a mother, life became even more stressful, and wine became the answer until it became the question. Could her life be better without it?

In this episode, we have Benjamin Lerner, who has been sober since June 13, 2016. Ever since he can remember, Ben did not feel comfortable in his own skin, and alcohol and drugs would help him loosen up. After dropping out of college at 20 years old, Ben got his first DUI, and his one thought in that moment was that if he were arrested, he would not be able to drink or use that day, and that’s all that mattered. Throughout the years, Ben’s addiction progressed, and he found himself in situations he always told himself he would never end up in. This is Benjamin’s story on the Sober Motivation podcast. ----------- Follow Benjamin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benjamin.lerner Follow Sober Motivation on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sobermotivation/ Support the show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sobermotivation 30 Day Sober Motivation Journal:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sobermotivation/e/154076 Download the Sober Buddy App: https://soberbuddy.app.link/motivation Check out SoberLink: www.soberlink.com/recover

In this week's episode, we have Mary, who started drinking alcohol, smoking weed, and cigarettes at 13 years old. It began to be a significant part of her teenage years, but the consequences would take some time to catch up. Everything really picked up when she left for college as freedom and access increased. At 20 years old, Mary found herself in rehab for the first time but was not so sure about committing to a life without alcohol. Things escalated with her addiction to drugs and alcohol after her first treatment stay, and moderation felt impossible.
