The Poison We've Been Sold as Medicine
The moment I realized alcohol had hijacked my life came at 33, despite my outward success-director title, six-figure salary, and the trappings of achievement. Behind closed doors, I was drinking alone from morning until passing out, hiding airline shots in my purse, and spiraling into chaos. When a concerned doctor friend suggested AA, I bought wine on the way home-denial in its purest form. Yet within eighteen months, I not only stopped drinking but overcame bulimia and recreational drug use, transforming so completely that I quit my job to start a revolution in recovery. This transformation happened at a critical cultural moment: women gaining unprecedented power while facing skyrocketing rates of alcohol addiction. Between 2002 and 2012, alcohol addiction among women rose 84 percent, with one in ten American women now dying from alcohol-related causes. As we celebrate feminist progress with "rose all day" culture, alcohol-related deaths among women increased 67 percent in just a decade. This deadly contradiction demands a radical alternative to traditional recovery paths.
