This is episode two of a multipart series where Julie talks about her addiction and recovery. This episode explores "what happened" after that fateful moment where she came out of a blackout staring at herself in the mirror. Julie and JP talk about the shame and despair of coming out of a blackout, the ways and reasons we blame others for our problems, and why it's so hard to take responsibility when you have been in a blackout. There remains more to the story, but this is a raw look inside the experience of someone struggling to surrender - both when they don't, and then, when they do.

This episode is one of a multipart series where Julie talks about her addiction and recovery. This episode explores "what it was like" and her life before she initiated recovery.

Rest assured, there is more to the story...yet this is where the story begins.
