At nineteen, a single shaming moment convinced her she was unlovable, and binge drinking became the way she reinforced it: near-death nights she now calls a self-imposed death sentence. Fourteen years ago she lost her husband Scott to alcohol-related suicide. Her own turning point came five years ago on one last drunk drive home — a double yellow line, and a desperate prayer: \"God, get me home and I swear I'll quit.\" She kept the promise.\nNow in her sixties and alcohol-free, Colleen is honoring a second promise — the one she made to Scott to bring something good out of his death. She just published her book, Life Beyond the Binge, with proceeds going to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. She and Austin dig into why binge drinking hides so easily behind \"partying,\" shame as the story beneath the behavior, signs from the other side, and finally embracing the nineteen-year-old she spent a lifetime running from. This is the One Last Hit Podcast.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bXveKfaNQEQzwNL2lmeAQBZJSimZC0vAYL8kWl1jhpk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNjcw/M2M5MzQ4YWE4YTE3/OGNkYTU2NDIxNjY5/MTdjYy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
