Listen "Episode 40: Doing It My Own Way with Mac Macon"
Episode Synopsis
Happy Thursday, friends! Welcome back to Share Your Story with Ellie. I’m really thankful you’re choosing to spend your time with me! Today, I’ve got my old family friend Mac Macon on the podcast. And yes, you’ll recognize that name, because he is Susan Britt Macon’s son!
Our families spent so much time together, especially over holidays– which you’ll hear us reminisce on– and so much of my memories growing up center around the Macons. Mac mentions it in the show, but his friends used to always call him “Mother Goose”, because he was always telling captivating and hysterical stories. That nickname still rings true!
Thanks to a little nudge from his sweet fiancé Schuyler, Mac reached out to me a few weeks ago about wanting to share his story with self abuse, specifically struggling with alcoholism. Hearing his honesty about the battles he’s fought against alcoholism and drug use, his clarity after hitting rock bottom, and ultimately, his generosity to share his story with sobriety in order to help other people.
In Part 1 of our conversation, Mac offers the raw details of the circumstances that led to his alcohol dependence and the gritty stories of what’s gotten him to this point. I’m honored he would choose to share his story with me and so many others and pray so many more will be set free from the bondage of self harm.
