Quitting to Win with Crystal Waltman

As a young woman, Crystal was a high-achieving athlete with a competitive drive.

At only fourteen, she was already playing varsity volleyball which created a lot of pressure, expectations, and social anxiety.

Around the same time, she discovered drinking, which seemed like an easy way to escape these pressures.

When she went to college, her drinking progressed, and the cycle continued.

"It was all about playing hard, studying hard, winning, and then blacking out again."

Later on in life, after becoming a mom, Crystal fell into what we often hear described today as "Mommy wine culture."

She tried to manage her drinking as best as possible, but she just couldn't stop on her own.

After asking her neighbor how she was able to stop drinking, she was taken to her first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Her sobriety date is March 22, 2015. 

Today Crystal is a coach, public speaker, and author who truly believes in recovering out loud.

You can find her book, "Quitting to Win" on Amazon.
