The Recovery Couple: Love, Sobriety, and Helping Others
The best part [of recovery] lies in the transformation for me, and I've met people that they live because they just like to be sponsors.
Imagine finding love and sobriety all at once. That’s exactly what happened to Chef Recovery (Jay Barnard) and Ashley Beaucage, who share their incredible journey on this episode of the Dismantled Life podcast. Hosted by Anthony Capozzoli, the conversation dives into the highs and lows of their paths to sobriety and how they turned their lives around to help others do the same. Jay has been sober for 13 years, while Ashley is celebrating 600 days of sobriety.
Together, they are known as The Recovery Couple, and their story is nothing short of inspiring. They hit rock bottom before finding their way to a healthier life, but with determination and support, they managed to turn things around. Now, they’re committed to giving back and helping others find joy and freedom in sobriety. One of the key messages from this episode is the importance of finding what works for you in recovery.
Jay and Ashley emphasize that everyone’s journey is unique, and it’s crucial to embrace your own path. They also talk about building a 'toolkit' for sobriety, which includes therapy, support groups, and healthy habits. Mental health is another significant topic they cover. Both Jay and Ashley have faced anxiety and depression during their recovery. They openly discuss the challenges of managing these issues while staying sober and share the strategies that have helped them cope.
Throughout the episode, their passion for helping others shines brightly. They talk about their active Facebook page where they offer inspiration and host weekly live events.
