    EP 388: Interview with Beth - BEYOND THE BOTTLE

    Beth, founder of "Beyond the Bottle" TikTok, shares how growing up with an alcoholic mother who died at 49 in 2019 despite multiple rehab attempts led her to create a support community for families affected by addiction. Despite childhood trauma including instability, stigma, and having to lock her bedroom door to protect belongings from her mother's theft, Beth earned a first-class university degree and now helps others understand that addiction stems from unhealed trauma, affects entire families, and requires community support rather than judgment. Her message emphasizes that people facing trauma have two paths - seek help or self-medicate - and that recovery isn't perfect but every attempt at sobriety matters, encouraging others that their traumatic background doesn't define their future.
