Join us on this compelling episode of The Intochange Podcast with your host, Ben Lowe, as we dive into the  journey of Justine Santowiak, a wellness expert and sobriety advocate. Once trapped in the shadows of alcohol addiction, Justine shares her heart-wrenching story of hiding her struggles from loved ones, the societal pressures that normalized her drinking, and the terrifying moments that propelled her towards seeking help. 

From discussing the deceptive comfort alcohol provided to her life-changing realization in rehab, Justine opens up about the significant role exercise played in regaining her strength and how writing helped her process her experiences. 

Now ten years sober, she's on a mission to empower others, especially the youth, with the tools to handle stress without turning to substances. 

This episode is not just a story of recovery but a powerful testimony to the strength of the human spirit in overcoming addiction and transforming personal despair into a beacon of hope. 

Tune in to discover how Justine's journey can inspire changes in how we view and handle addiction in our society.
