THIS Ayahuasca trip changed his life FOREVER...

She woke up in detox unable to feel her legs and knew something was seriously wrong…

His drinking got so bad, his organs were failing..

@nothingsoffpod Pookie!

This is wild...

I had low self esteem….once I started doing esteemable acts like helping others, I began to love myself for it.

Her last drink was in her daughter’s Stanley cup. She filled it with White Claw, got on a plane to detox and hasn’t had a drink since. That’s the kind of recovery story that stops you.

He faked being schizophrenic just to get out of the psych ward....

He gambled $3.7M in 4 months....omfg

She didn't know it was goodbye. She was drunk when she walked into that hospital room. Started drinking at 11am, called the ambulance at 2pm, leaned over his bed and told him how good his hair looked. He grabbed her by the neck and said "Don't let this disease get you." He was gone the next day. Full episode out now 🎧 "Inside A Functioning Mom's Secret Alcoholism | My 30-Year Battle With Alcoholism"

Just finished recording one of the most honest conversations I've ever had. A functioning mom who hid it for ten years, went through aversion therapy, lost her wedding ring in the airport on the way to rehab, and took her last drink out of her daughter's Stanley Cup. She's two years sober today. This is what alcoholism actually looks like behind closed doors.

Her kidneys were shutting down due to her DRUG use...

She would shake when she didn't have alcohol...

They made her chug vodka until she vomited into a sink while staring at herself in a mirror. She lasted 4 months before she drank again. This is what 30 years of alcoholism really looks like. Full episode on Rise Above with Kevin Lanning 🎙️
