THE COST OF PERFECTION | How Alcoholism Stole One Woman’s Identity

Lori’s story is one of transformation—growing up in a stable yet transient household, she found herself swept into a life of alcoholism later in life. As a mother, she maintained a perfect facade, but behind closed doors, her addiction grew.

Lori recounts her life, from watching her husband battle alcoholism to falling into her own hidden drinking habits once her children left home. After a life-threatening encounter with alcohol poisoning, she sought treatment, faced her emotional wounds, and found sobriety through therapy, spirituality, and self-care. Today, Lori lives a life filled with gratitude, proving that recovery is possible at any stage of life.

Listeners will gain inspiration and insights into how even a well-hidden addiction can be overcome, with recovery bringing the possibility of a fulfilling, joyful life.
