Don't let the perfect get in the way of the good.
Feeling like you have to be perfect all the time? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Happy Hour, host Tricia Lewis sits down with Brittany to discuss the often-overlooked issue of perfectionism and its impact on alcohol addiction recovery. Brittany's story is a powerful reminder that not all struggles with alcohol look the same. She wasn’t your typical 'low-functioning' alcoholic; instead, she was battling the constant pressure to be flawless.
Brittany tried to manage her drinking through methods like Moderation Management, but found they fell short. It wasn’t until she turned to Alcoholics Anonymous and got a sponsor that she started to see real change. Brittany also shares her experience with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a non-invasive treatment that helped her on her path to sobriety. This episode tackles the stigma around alcoholism and debunks the myth that it only affects those in extreme circumstances.
Tricia and Brittany emphasize that recovery is possible and can even be enjoyable without alcohol. They stress the importance of seeking support and rejecting societal pressures to be perfect. Tune in to hear Brittany's inspiring journey and learn how you can find joy in recovery, no matter what your story looks like.
