On this week's episode of the Sober As A Mother Podcast. I talked with Jennifer Storm. After a childhood rape turned her life upside down, she turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with the trauma she endured. This ten year battle with addiction culminated in a brutal suicide attempt which she survived. She awoke in a hospital bed with renewed hope and set out to rebuild her life while exposing one secret at a time. Now with two decades of recovery and healing, Jennifer seeks to bring forth her experience, strength, and hope to others. We discuss: ▪️How she layered her trauma that ultimately led to her suicide attempt ▪️Why doing your own trauma work is essential to sustaining long term sobriety ▪️How she is teaching her son boundaries and to "respect the no" ▪️Why silence creates shame and guilt that leads to substance abuse ▪️What she believes are the Five Pillars of Recovery and how she uses them in her daily life
