Maddy shares her raw and honest story about her battle with alcohol addiction—how it started, the struggles she faced, and the turning point that led her to recovery. For years, she used alcohol to cope with stress, pain, and life’s challenges, not realizing how much it was taking from her. The road to sobriety wasn’t easy, but through support, self-discovery, and resilience, she found her way back to herself.
