Alcoholismo, recaída y recuperación: una mujer volvió a elegir la vida | Marcela Escallón

Marcela Escallón lived for years numbed by alcohol, seeking in the bottle a way to numb the pain, loneliness, and wounds she didn't know how to face. In this episode of More Than Addicts, we discuss alcoholism, relapse, and recovery through a profoundly human story. Marcela shares how her mother's death marked her life, how drinking began to take up an increasingly powerful place, and how recovery became the path to rediscovering herself. Her story also shows us something very important: recovery isn't just about stopping drinking. It's about continuing to work on ourselves every day, just for today, with honesty, therapy, self-love, and responsibility. Because when an addict becomes careless, even after eight years, they can relapse. We also talk about how difficult it can be for a woman to face societal prejudices: women who simply want to be themselves, express themselves, and live freely, but who are often judged by a society uncomfortable seeing them outside the norm. And when a woman has experienced addiction, the judgment is often even harsher. Marcela also shares one of the most difficult moments of her life: she suffered a cardiac arrest, was resuscitated, and spent several days in a coma. This experience led her to see life from a different perspective, with more gratitude, more presence, and a greater desire to live. This episode is a call to ask for help, to not neglect recovery, and to understand that working through our wounds is the path to becoming our best selves. 🎧 Full episode on YouTube and Spotify. 🔔 Subscribe, turn on notifications, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. #MoreThanAddicts #Alcoholism #Relapse #Recovery #Addiction #MentalHealth #Therapy #SelfLove #Sobriety #AskForHelp #JustForToday #LifeStories
