Episode Synopsis

Recovery—it's not a conversation we often hear about, but being a show all about midlife plot twists, it's a conversation I'm very open to discussing. Today my dear friend and neighbor, Anne, is joining me for a truly eye-opening conversation around her struggle with alcoholism. In this conversation, we're tackling here long-time battle with alcohol, her decision to enter rehab in her 40's, what that looked like during COVID, and the importance of diving into therapy.SHOW NOTES:Introducing Anne (:50)Anne’s Relationship with Alcohol (3:14)Going to Rehab (5:29)The Rehab Experience (9:08)Rehab During COVID (12:48)Rehab Staff (14:21)How Alcohol Effected Anne’s Health (15:26)Deciphering Depression vs Alcoholism (21:35)Anne’s Day to Day (22:55)What Life Looks Like at 42 (25:16)Life After Rehab (26:44)Support Networks (30:07)Midlife Stories (31:22)Anne’s Long Term Treatment (37:23)What Anne Would Tell Her Younger Self (40:31)What Anne Would Tell Herself Back in March (42:50)The Importance of Timing (43:14) Hosted on Acast.
