Raised by an alcoholic father and introduced to drinking at 13, she later turned to weed, cocaine and acid during her teens and early twenties. Her story includes serious suicide attempts, a turbulent marriage, and a desperate move to California where she hoped a new start would help her get sober. Instead, postpartum stress and hidden drinking escalated into hiding vodka in cabinets and drinking nightly. A relationship with a man from detox led her to misuse Suboxone and eventually inject heroin and meth every day. Brittany explains how losing custody forced her to confront addiction. She describes detoxing medically, logging breathalyzer tests four to six times per day and taking weekly drug screens to prove her sobriety. Despite setbacks\u2014including psychosis and arrest\u2014she found faith, re\u2011entered a 12\u2011step program, and built a support network that included her mother, who moved across the country to help her regain custody. Within 28 days of returning to Wisconsin she got legal custody back. Now more than five years sober, she shares practical relapse\u2011prevention strategies, the importance of honesty, and why recovery isn\u2019t linear. Listeners will learn how she balances ADHD, postpartum depression and motherhood while staying sober, how she rebuilt trust with her children, and why breathalyzers and drug testing can be powerful accountability tools.
