EP 238: Peggi Cooney Author of ”The Other Side of Alcohol”

Peggi Coney Author of "The Other Side of Alcohol"

Peggy did not have a drinking problem until her 50's. Having it all, a beautiful family, two homes and also a dream job teaching social work.  In 2008, Peggi received a service award amongst seventeen hundred  and fifty colleagues and still could not put the drink down.  A drinking incident at a reunion family picnic resulted in her daughter saying "if she wanted a relationship with her family she needed to address this problem".  Peggy was crushed as she valued her family more than she could bear to lose them. Author of The Other Side Of Alcohol, she takes you through her journey and how she turned her life around.  I want the stigma and shame gone, everybody has a valid story and deserves to be heard.  It brings us to where we are today.  Peggi says "you need to constantly forgive yourself".  I could not agree more.  The greatest gift you can give yourself is to pour the poison down the sink!
