Pivotal Moments. Rediscovering the Pleasure of Life without Alcohol W/ Madeline Forrest.

Rediscovering the Pleasure of Life without Alcohol Since November 8, 2020, with Madeline Forrest 

Most people are struggling under the yoke of alcoholism. They are sabotaging their lives with an illusion of happiness and pleasure. Maybe you do not realize this because no one has ever told you what you miss on the other side of sobriety.

Join the conversation with Madeline Forrest, who discovered her life on November 8, 2020, when she stopped drinking.  She has redefined her happiness and lived to her commitments for two years in sobriety. She has used her journey to inspire others to get out of their rabbit holes through her Instagram account and podcasts. You can reclaim your precious life of purpose and impact the world.

This episode is for anyone struggling with alcohol addiction who has finally decided to take a turn around in their life. It is also for anyone who has begun the process of sobriety, but maybe the journey seems impossible. Madeline is here to encourage you with a story of her life and how she has managed to be sober for two years now and still counting. She advises that a meaningful life is waiting to open doors for you in the best possible way once you put the bottle down. The truth is that it’s hard and scary but what lies ahead is worth the struggle.
