    What if change is always possible, no matter how many times you try? At 25 years old, Jana was married and living in Hawaii, where she began exploring alcohol after losing access to marijuana. Three years later, her husband asked for a separation, which brought up deep feelings of rejection, especially from not having her dad in her life. To cope with the pain, Jana began drinking more. Later, she took a job at a winery and started drinking daily until she realized she didn’t feel as in control of her drinking as she once did. She tried different ways to manage her relationship with alcohol but found herself returning to old patterns. In this episode, Jana shares with Annie how continuing her journey, even when progress felt slow, helped her rediscover joy in everyday life, build stronger relationships, and feel more connected to who she truly is.
