This is a YouTube video titled "The journey to sobriety" containing a conversation recorded on September 30, 2023. The dialogue features Beverley Simpson interviewing another speaker about their personal experience with weight and the catalyst that led them to sobriety, discussing struggles with alcohol and hitting a personal low point.
So I'd love for you to share a little bit about, you know, what it was like to be in your body and in your head when you were at 240 pounds. And really, what was the catalyst for you that moved you to get sober?
Well, that was sort of. Everyone's bottom is different. I would say, physically, it was more rock bottom. I was still, you know, going to work and paying my bills. I just happened to be drinking too much. The reality is, is, like, leading up to that, I would say 2007 was that period of, like, it just wasn't going, like, it got worse.
