Today Anne Nicely shares her powerful journey from battling alcohol addiction to finding freedom and purpose through her faith in Jesus Christ. Anne candidly recounts her early experiences growing up in a small Kentucky town, where her father’s severe addiction deeply impacted her life. Despite vowing never to follow in his footsteps, Anne found herself caught in a cycle of binge drinking that left her overwhelmed with guilt, shame, and anxiety.
She reflects on the pivotal moments that led her to surrender her life to Christ, the transformative power of vulnerability, and the role that sharing her struggles with others played in the freedom story. Anne emphasizes the importance of community and the necessity of being honest about one’s struggles, noting that it was through listening to the stories of others and immersing herself in the Word that she found the strength to quit drinking for good.
She shares how she initially kept her decision to quit drinking private, relying on podcasts and sermons to keep her grounded in her early days of sobriety. Anne’s testimony is a powerful reminder of God’s grace and the freedom that comes from fully surrendering to His will. You can follow Anne on instagram at @The_Bright_Eyed_Sober_Girl.
