She was hiding at sea and calling it work.

Colleen Clifford fished commercially for years, drinking to outrun something she had buried.

Here she talks about binge drinking, breaks down the 95/5 denial cycle, and describes how shame convinced her she was unlovable.

She shares the loss of her husband to alcohol-related suicide, the moment she finally asked for help, and the small acts of self-kindness that rebuilt her worth.

Honest, raw, and hopeful, this one is for anyone who has used distraction to outrun pain.
