Jes Patten - Grateful Growth

Today we talk with Jes Patten.  Jes is a wife, mother, and account manager at a brokerage firm living outside Pittsburgh, PA.  She shares with us today about loss and using substances to cope.  A seed was planted in 2020 that made her realize both weed and alcohol were a major issue for her and she spent the remainder of that year in denial.  In 2021 she became curious about addressing this in her life but it wasn’t until November of 2021 that she had her final blackout that really scared her into making a change.  She found Reframe and had some success with both alcohol and marijuana until April 2022 on vacation when that voice came back to try it again and then the roller coaster began until in late 2022 when she renewed her commitment to being alcohol free and this year in 2023 has been successfully alcohol-free and marijuana free.IG:@jespatten23@gratefulgrowthlifeThe Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the number one iOS and Android app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.
