Nothing’s Off the Table with Louis Ruggiero

A Handle of Vodka a Day Put Her in a Coma at 30 | How Adriana Finally Got Sober

Episode Description from the Publisher

At 30 years old, Adriana was in a coma with liver failure and cirrhosis. Doctors read her last rites and her family signed a DNR. She survived — then went back to drinking anyway. In this episode of Nothing Is Off the Table, Adriana shares her raw, unfiltered addiction recovery story: how alcoholism started at 15, drinking a handle of Tito's vodka a day, relearning how to walk and read after liver failure, the relapse that cost her her job, the moment her mom caught her drinking, and the two-and-a-half week blackout bender that finally sent her to rehab. Now sober, she opens up about alcohol withdrawal, life in recovery, rebuilding family relationships, dating in sobriety, and her best advice for anyone still struggling with alcohol addiction. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction or alcoholism, this conversation is proof that no one is too far gone. 🔔 Real stories. Raw comebacks. Nothing’s off the table. I sit down with people who’ve faced it all: addiction, loss, redemption—and came out stronger. These are unfiltered conversations about resilience, recovery, and finding purpose again. 🎙️ Hosted by Louis Ruggiero 📱 Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/nothingsoffpod) 📹 TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@nothingsoffpod) 🔗 Linktree: (https://www.linktr.ee/nothingsoffthetable) 🧢 Buy a Nothing's Off The Table Hat: (https://nothings-off-the-table-with-louis-ruggiero.myshopify.com) 🤝 Proudly Sponsored by Right Choice Recovery If you or someone you love is struggling with gambling, drugs, alcohol, or addiction, please reach out.
