Summary

Completely stuck and struggling to keep it together. Sound familiar? For today’s guest, that was her reality. Annie welcomes Calley to the podcast.

She no longer sees drinking as an ‘activity’, but a ‘substance’ used for intoxication. Join us to learn more about how Calley won the battle to control her drinking.

0:20.2	Hi, this is Annie Grace and welcome to this naked mind podcast. I am here today with Kelly.
0:32.8	Hi, Kelly. Hi, how are you? I'm great. How are you? I'm doing good. Very cool. So why don't you
0:39.5	kind of take us back to the beginning? Like where did the drinking thing sort of start for you?
0:45.5	Okay. Well, I grew up in a household where my parents drank with dinner and things like that,
0:52.2	but I didn't really try alcohol until high school. It was just something that was cool to do and
0:58.6	I wanted to fit in and I would try to see what this fun thing I was doing, but it wasn't really a
