Show Notes
In this powerful episode of Addiction Uncovered, host Jill Nastase interviews Cierra, who shares her deeply personal journey through grief, alcohol addiction, medical crises, and recovery.
After losing her grandmother during the pandemic, Cierra turned to alcohol to cope — a decision that slowly spiraled into physical dependence, pancreatitis, seizures, withdrawal psychosis, and ultimately detox. What followed was a life-changing recovery journey, including residential treatment and rediscovering self-worth.
This episode is raw, emotional, and filled with hope for anyone struggling with addiction or relapse.
