20. Shattering the Stigma of Addiction… Interview with Gentry Jones Sharing Her Recovery Story & How She Helps Others Quit
Description
In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I brought on Gentry Jones as a special guest to share her story of sobriety and recovery. Despite having supportive parents and no significant trauma, she struggled with fitting in during her adolescence, developing a dependency on alcohol for coping with insecurities and social anxieties. The conversation travels through her high school and college years, detailing the binge drinking episodes, personal struggles, and the wake-up calls that led her to rehab and eventual sobriety. We discuss the societal stigma around alcoholism, the challenging journey to self-acceptance, and the importance of breaking free from the notion that alcoholism has just one face.
The episode offers a raw, honest look at the challenges of getting and staying sober, the intervention that almost didn’t take, and the critical moments that defined her recovery. Tune in for an inspiring story of resilience and transformation, and learn how she now helps others through her 'Quitter Club' and sober community.
