Her life changed on August 18th, 2012. The catalyst? It wasn't waking up in the hospital or in strange men's beds after a night of partying. It wasn't even going to jail. The catalyst that made Courtney Andersen chose sobriety follows an evening of ripping shots and, a regular occurrence, blacking out. On this night, she threatened her then-boyfriend, now-husband, and lost their cat. That morning, the 18th of August, 2012, she awoke hungover but ready for change.
Today, Courtney is a Sober Coach and Host of the Sober Vibes Podcast. She shares her story in hopes to help women who may be experiencing a similar relationship with alcohol. Courtney explains to Erin that her belief is trauma is the gateway to addiction, and alcoholism does not discriminate.
Erin asks Courtney for some tips for those who are sober and dating and those who may have swiped right on someone sober. Life doesn't have to end once a decision to be sober is made. Courtney will suggest, it's only just begun.
