In this episode I catch up with Jacinta from Sydney. Growing up with an alcohol Mum, Jacinta knows too well the dangers of alcoholism, it's destruction and how sly and powerful she can be. Like so many of us that grow up with addicted parents, even though we see the fall out we can also find ourselves in similar patterns. While their stories are very different the parallels between Jacinta and her Mum show the power of the Sneaky Bitch. Her Mum after years and years of alcohol abuse which had led to all sorts of destructive behaviours, Jacinta's Mum gave up the booze for 10 years. Jacinta, like her Mum had found herself also under the spell of alcohol and gave it up for some time. After 10 years of abstinence and after the death of her Husband, Jacinta's Mum took up drinking again and spiralled right back to where she started. Jacinta like her Mum, after months without booze found herself having "just one" with her hubby and also ended up right back where she started. In this episode we talk about the Sneaky Bitch and how she still hangs around even after years of no alcohol. It happens to me from time to time, it happens to us all and something we need to be aware of and be prepared for.
We also chat about the difficulties of asking for help if you work in the medical or health sector.
Jacinta is a HIQA grad for the second time, is 10 months sober now and going strong.
