She broke her neck. Lost her career. Lost relationships. Lost friends.

And still… she couldn’t stop drinking.

In this deeply honest episode of Slaying Sober, Ash shares the story of how childhood abandonment, family trauma, addiction, and years of denial led her from becoming a qualified criminal lawyer to drinking herself into complete destruction.

She drank at work. She drank before work. She drank in recovery meetings. She drank while trying to detox in mental health hospitals.

Then, after drinking two bottles of wine in just ten minutes, she fell down the stairs and fractured her neck in two places.

Even that wasn't enough to stop her.

This is a raw and powerful conversation about addiction, denial, trauma, mental health, family relationships, rock bottom, and the moment Ash finally found a path toward recovery.

From being told she was unwanted as a child… to rebuilding her relationship with her father… to finding recovery and a new sense of purpose in Bali Ash's story proves that even when you think you've reached rock bottom, there can still be a way back.

Watch the full conversation and hear Ash's incredible journey from addiction to recovery.
