From Addiction to 10 Years Sober: Molly’s Story of Recovery

In this episode of the Impact Recovery Podcast, host Sarah Pritchard sits down with Molly Millard, Director of Office Investment Sales at Cushman & Wakefield, for an honest conversation about addiction, sobriety, and the path to lasting recovery. Molly shares her story growing up in Northern Virginia, navigating the loss of her mother at a young age, and building what looked like a successful life from the outside. A talented athlete, singer, and performer who eventually moved to New York City to pursue acting, Molly describes how alcohol slowly shifted from something social into something she could no longer control. What followed was a difficult season of isolation, daily drinking, and losing meaningful relationships. After a pivotal moment that led her into inpatient treatment in 2016, Molly began rebuilding her life through recovery, the 12 steps, and a supportive community. Now celebrating 10 years of sobriety, Molly reflects on the power of surrender, the importance of mentorship and fellowship, and how recovery transformed every area of her life. Today, she has built a successful career in commercial real estate as a Director at Cushman & Wakefield, while continuing to stay active in the recovery community and help others find the same freedom she found. Together, Sarah and Molly also discuss common misconceptions about alcoholism, the fear many people have about getting sober, and why helping others is such an important part of lasting recovery. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, community matters, and no one has to face addiction alone.
