This week I chat with Lindsey, a single mother of six, who bravely shares her journey from excessive drinking to recovery. In this conversation, Lindsay delves into the challenges of being a single mother and how she used alcohol as a coping mechanism, leading to a cycle of self-medication.

Lindsey's story takes us through the chaos her addiction brought into her life and the profound impact on her six children. Despite being a single mother of six, Lindsey found herself in denial about her addiction until unmistakable signs and behaviours forced her to confront the truth.

As Lindsey enters her "2nd Act," her story serves as a testament to the transformative power of recovery, demonstrating that even in the face of denial, hope, support, and resilience can pave the way for a brighter, sober future. Join me as Lindsey's story unfolds, highlighting the importance of seeking help and the possibility of a second chance at life. 

A trigger warning: this conversation delves into forms of addiction. If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out to the National Alcohol and Other Drug Hotline at 1800 250 015.
