Unraveled(Part 1) with Laura Cook Boldt


Laura grew up in an alcoholic family with a mother in recovery.

She always promised herself that she wouldn't become an alcoholic, but that was a promise she couldn't keep.

It started to become more apparent that she might be drinking excessively later in life after building a career and starting a family. 

"I think I knew deep down I was an alcoholic, but I was too afraid to address those fears."

Laura recalls moments where she would look herself in the mirror and tell herself that she wouldn't drink too much, but inevitably she would continue to drink to excess.

She finally realized how severe her problem had become after waking up to a totaled car in her driveway, but not remembering that she was the one who had been driving.

This nearly fatal accident prompted Laura to reach out to some family friends in recovery for help.

After several years of sobriety, she decided to co-author a book with her son Tom about their journeys into recovery.

Be sure to tune into Part 2 of this episode with Laura's son Tom to hear things from his perspective.
