For me, it's being outdoors, definitely, yeah, being in nature, and I've even changed my job so that now you know gardening and landscaping... All of that's taken away and I'm calm, because I don't have that.
What happens when you lose loved ones while battling addiction? In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol,' Danni Carr chats with her friend Gabe Christmas, who has been sober for over two years. Gabe's journey with alcohol began at the tender age of 14, leading to a lifelong struggle that she eventually overcame. The conversation delves into the profound impact of losing both her parents—one while she was still drinking heavily and the other after she had embraced sobriety.
Gabe shares her raw and emotional experiences of coping with grief without turning to alcohol, offering a unique perspective on dealing with life's toughest moments sober. But it's not just about loss; it's also about love and rebuilding. Gabe talks about how her relationship with her wife evolved after she quit drinking. Navigating their wedding sober was a significant milestone, and Gabe offers candid insights into how they found new ground together.
She also discusses discovering new hobbies and passions that brought joy and meaning to her life in sobriety. For anyone grappling with addiction, grief, or the complexities of maintaining relationships while sober, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom and practical advice. Gabe's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of finding light even in the darkest times.
