Overcoming The Disease of Alcoholism - with Olympian Carrie Bates (Pt. 1)
In this episode, Olympic gold medalist Carrie Bates shares her story about growing up in a family with alcoholism and the role that played in her life. She also shares her journey of finding success at the Olympics, her battle with alcoholism, her amazing recovery, and how she now is a source of hope for people fighting this disease. There are many misconceptions about alcoholism and addiction in general, so we discussed many of those as well.
Carrie is now an outreach manager at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation where she helps others find hope and healing in their own recovery process.
