We’re thrilled to introduce our friend Ericka Andersen—a freelance writer, mom of two, lover of Jesus, and passionate sobriety advocate from Indianapolis. Ericka’s story is one of incredible resilience: a journey from the grips of alcohol addiction to celebrating over four years of sobriety, all while staying deeply rooted in her faith. In this episode, we dive into her unique perspective on addiction, faith, and self-discovery—a conversation that’s both eye-opening and beautifully relatable.
Ericka opens up about her journey, sharing her early experiences with alcohol and the complicated generational ties that shaped her relationship with drinking. From the pressures of high school and college parties to the “work hard, play hard” culture as a young professional in Washington, DC, she explains how she found herself in a cycle that seemed normal but left her feeling deeply conflicted. Even while meeting every marker of outward success, Ericka quietly struggled, constantly questioning her drinking habits, the strain they placed on her spiritual life, and the toll on her well-being.
She also discusses the strength she found in supportive communities and the importance of creating safe spaces for honest conversations about alcohol and faith. With the holiday season around the corner, Ericka offers heartfelt advice for anyone wrestling with sobriety during a time full of social gatherings and expectations. From staying grounded in faith to embracing community support, her message is a reminder that freedom from alcohol isn’t just possible—it can lead to a fuller, more joyous life.
