E45: Kelly Giannuzzi "Seemed" to Have it Together. Until She Didn't

Send us a text

Kelly Giannuzzi is a mom of three boys who "seemed" to have it all together.  Great husband, beautiful house and amazing kids.  She was the the picture of the American Dream. 

What you didn't see was that she was silently battling postpartum depression, crippled by anxiety and relied far too heavily on "mommy juice."

In January 2021, she reached her bottom and decided to stop drinking.  She has not picked up since.

Kelly's path to sobriety might be different than yours.  She did not find recovery in the rooms of 12 step programs but has unknowingly followed along with some of the steps.  No one has a monopoly and it was important to share as many different kinds of stories for you to identify with.   

Join Matt J, Steve C, John I and Kelly for this inspiring story.
