In this episode of The Begin Again Podcast, host Gary Mankey speaks with Melissa McGovern, a certified sobriety coach and the host of the Sober New Yorker podcast.
Melissa opens up about her lifelong battle with alcohol, beginning with her early drinking experiences in Wisconsin, through her struggles during the pandemic, and the series of personal losses that heightened her dependence on alcohol. She describes hitting rock bottom, receiving alarming health statistics during a doctor's visit, and making the life-changing decision to remove alcohol from her life.
Through a combination of walking, embracing support systems in New York City, and leveraging online sobriety resources, Melissa successfully turned her life around. Her story is one of resilience and transformation, proving that it’s never too late to reclaim one’s life and purpose.
Today, she channels her journey into helping others as a sobriety coach, emphasizing the importance of facing fear, getting out of one's comfort zone, and pursuing authenticity and fulfillment in sobriety.
