Mit 13 ihren ersten Vollrausch: Baelie Pierce aus Utah hat nun mit 25 Jahren dem Alkohol abgeschworen
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
Baelie Pierce had her first sip of alcohol at the age of 13.
By college, she was drinking daily, often showing up to class drunk.
“I honestly don’t know how my professors didn’t notice,” says Baelie, 25, from Utah.
“I’d drink before class, during breaks, and all night.”
It got so bad that she missed her board exam because she was too intoxicated.
After graduating, she drank constantly, starting with a White Claw the moment she woke up and continuing until she passed out.
She’d visit the liquor store twice a day for 12-packs and regularly woke up in strangers’ hotel rooms.
“I cheated on my boyfriend of six years while blackout drunk,” she confesses.
“It’s something I’ve never admitted before, but I take full responsibility.”
As her addiction worsened, she started calling her family in tears.
“One day, I cried so much my eyes were swollen shut. My sisters finally realised something was seriously wrong,” says Baelie.
Her family moved her back home, but the darkness didn’t lift.
“I lived on the top floor of my apartment and it took everything in me not to jump off my balcony,” she says.
“I seriously just wanted to end it all.”
One day, after a wild weekend, Baelie made a terrifying decision. She got in her car, took off her seatbelt and floored it at 80mph, intending to crash. Miraculously, she survived.
She was taken to the hospital where she worked registered respiratory therapist. It was a humiliating experience, she says.
“My co-workers knew I was drunk. They knew my blood alcohol level,” says Baelie.
“I was so lucky I didn’t get a DUI. That would have ruined my life.”
Too drunk to be discharged, Baelie was kept overnight.
But that night marked the start of her recovery. A nurse gave her rehab resources, and she was transferred five hours away to a psychiatric facility for five days.
Back home, she tried to stay sober, but it wasn’t for her, it was for *** Local Caption *** 48097687

Baelie Pierce had her first sip of alcohol at the age of 13.
By college, she was drinking daily, often showing up to class drunk.
“I honestly don’t know how my professors didn’t notice,” says Baelie, 25, from Utah.
“I’d drink before class, during breaks, and all night.”
It got so bad that she missed her board exam because she was too intoxicated.
After graduating, she drank constantly, starting with a White Claw the moment she woke up and continuing until she passed out.
She’d visit the liquor store twice a day for 12-packs and regularly woke up in strangers’ hotel rooms.
“I cheated on my boyfriend of six years while blackout drunk,” she confesses.
“It’s something I’ve never admitted before, but I take full responsibility.”
As her addiction worsened, she started calling her family in tears.
“One day, I cried so much my eyes were swollen shut. My sisters finally realised something was seriously wrong,” says Baelie.
Her family moved her back home, but the darkness didn’t lift.
“I lived on the top floor of my apartment and it took everything in me not to jump off my balcony,” she says.
“I seriously just wanted to end it all.”
One day, after a wild weekend, Baelie made a terrifying decision. She got in her car, took off her seatbelt and floored it at 80mph, intending to crash. Miraculously, she survived.
She was taken to the hospital where she worked registered respiratory therapist. It was a humiliating experience, she says.
“My co-workers knew I was drunk. They knew my blood alcohol level,” says Baelie.
“I was so lucky I didn’t get a DUI. That would have ruined my life.”
Too drunk to be discharged, Baelie was kept overnight.
But that night marked the start of her recovery. A nurse gave her rehab resources, and she was transferred five hours away to a psychiatric facility for five days.
Back home, she tried to stay sober, but it wasn’t for her, it was for *** Local Caption *** 48097686
