The Dark Side of Alcoholism | I Was Slowly Dying From Alcohol

Amy Simmonds had everything from the outside — a thriving real estate career, a family, success — but inside she was slowly being destroyed by alcohol. In this raw and powerful conversation, Amy opens up about her childhood wounds, blackouts, relapse after years sober, and the moment she finally surrendered. She shares how grief — especially the sudden loss of her mother — became the catalyst for a deeper calling: a mission to break the stigma around addiction and show others that recovery is not just possible, it’s powerful. Amy is now 12.5 years sober and launching a new movement rooted in honesty, faith, service, and daily commitment. This episode dives into: The hidden alcoholism that no one talks about Relapsing after long-term sobriety Alcohol as a “solution” that quietly becomes the problem Grief, pain, and staying sober through unimaginable loss Why helping others is the key to lasting recovery Breaking the stigma for professionals who “look put together” If you or someone you love is struggling, this conversation could be the sign you’ve been waiting for. 📌 Recovery is not about perfection — it’s about connection. #RiseAbove #Sobriety #Alcoholism #RecoveryJourney #WomensRecovery #BreakingTheStigma #SoberLife #AddictionRecovery #OneDayAtATime #HealingThroughService Learn more about your ad choices.
