I went from drinking to have fun, to drinking to cope, to drinking to sleep. Eventually, I realized drinking was the reason I couldn't sleep at all.
Picture a place where you can enjoy a warm cup of tea without the pressure of alcohol looming over you. In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', Arielle Clark, the visionary behind Sis Got Tea, shares her inspiring journey from battling alcohol dependence to creating a haven for those seeking sobriety in Louisville. Arielle opens up about her personal struggles with drinking, revealing how it went from being a fun activity to a coping mechanism that disrupted her life.
Realizing the negative impact alcohol had on her, she decided to turn her life around and, in doing so, founded Sis Got Tea—a black-owned, woman-owned, LGBTQ-owned tea cafe that stands as a beacon of inclusivity and sobriety in a city steeped in drinking culture. Arielle's candid discussion touches on the challenges she faced pitching a sober business idea in a bourbon-loving town and the importance of creating safe spaces for the LGBTQ community.
Her story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about fostering connections and support within the recovery community. If you're looking for an uplifting tale of resilience and the power of inclusive spaces, this episode is a must-listen.
