Ultimately it did not resonate with me, for a few reasons, but luckily there's so many other things out there now that my podcast on the way home or my few chapters of my book on the way home, it kind of felt like I was at a meeting.
Imagine realizing that your nightly glass of wine is costing more than just money. In this episode of Recovery Happy Hour, host Tricia Lewis sits down with Amy to talk about the real price of drinking and the journey to a sober life. Amy, who hails from the south side of Chicago, shares how alcohol was ingrained in her life from a young age. Even in high school, she was familiar with blackouts and the normalization of heavy drinking.
Amy opens up about her attempts to quit drinking for her husband, which didn't go as planned. It wasn’t until an all-day wine event that she had a wake-up call. She knew it was time to quit but had no idea where to start. Luckily, a friend guided her to meetings, and she discovered resources like Recovery Happy Hour that made a difference in her journey. Sobriety has transformed Amy's life in ways she never imagined.
She talks about becoming more authentic and how this has positively impacted her relationships, especially in her role as an educator. Her students now see her as more relatable and human, which has improved their connection. This episode isn't just about Amy's story; it's a reminder that anyone can find their path to sobriety. Tricia and Amy's conversation is filled with practical advice and hope for those struggling with alcohol addiction.
If you're looking for inspiration and tangible steps to take on your own recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
