The Dangers Of Excessive Drinking In The Military - Esaia's Story

The Female Veterans Podcast

Marine veteran Esaia and I talk about the "drinking culture" that can be part of being in the military. We discuss how many who serve are young and not educated in the dangers of drinking or how to manage alcohol intake in a responsible way. Esaia shares the story of what happened when her drinking got her into trouble early in her career. We discuss what led her to spiral out of control and how rehab saved her. Esaia shares the repercussions of going to rehab on her reputation and what she did to survive it. Warning*** this episode touches on sensitive subject matter. Please keep an open mind. Both of us share stories we've never shared before, and through this process Esaia was able to have a change in perspective about what she experienced and release some negative emotions.
