Megan’s addiction didn’t look obvious at first. She had a job, a family, and a life that seemed “normal” on the outside… but behind the scenes, she was drinking vodka all day, hiding bottles, and slowly losing control. After a near-fatal car crash, showing up drunk to work, and hitting a breaking point as a mother, everything came crashing down. In this episode, Megan shares: The moment her addiction spiraled out of control Drinking in secret while trying to hold life together The crash that should’ve been her wake-up call How motherhood and rock bottom forced change What it actually took to get and stay sober This is a raw conversation about shame, survival, and what recovery really looks like.
