I really want to encourage you to put it down, because you will get your health back... it's never too late is what I would say.
Imagine feeling like you're the only one struggling with alcohol in a world that seems to celebrate it. That's where Annette Allen found herself before she discovered the power of online recovery communities. In this episode of 'Sober Stories', host Faye Edwardes sits down with Annette to discuss her journey to sobriety and the critical role that online support played in her recovery.
Annette opens up about how society's normalization of drinking made it tough to recognize her own issues with alcohol. It wasn't until she joined the online community Hello Sunday Morning that she began to see a path forward. This community not only offered her support but also inspired others, like Laura Willoughby, to create Club Soda, another lifeline for those seeking sobriety. Throughout the conversation, Annette stresses the importance of three key principles in recovery: total commitment, community, and compassion.
She delves into how upbringing and parenting can influence addiction and why it's crucial to reflect on one's relationship with alcohol. Annette's story is a testament to the power of community and the courage it takes to address problematic behaviors. She leaves listeners with an uplifting message: 'I really want to encourage you to put it down, because you will get your health back... it's never too late'.
Tune in to hear more about Annette's inspiring journey and how online communities can offer a beacon of hope for those looking to break free from alcohol.
