Melissa Gissy Witherspoon is our guest Soberlebrity on the show today. She’s the author of, “I’m Sober, So Now What?” Her book includes a chapter entitled ‘Fall Seven Times, Get Up Eight’ which is based on her personal accounts with relapse. Melissa just celebrated 9 years of sobriety on November 21, 2022. If she can achieve long-term sobriety after multiple relapses, so can you!  Melissa shares with our host, Jamie Brickhouse how she learned how to identify triggers and the 3 stages of relapse – emotional, mental, physical.
