I think it's a really important distinction for people to make. I was actually only going to kill myself. What came out of my healing, of course, and I think many folks will relate to this, is that I had a lot of adverse childhood experiences that contributed to my feelings of all those deep, dark feelings we have that are painful to us, that we use alcohol to cope with.
Imagine finding a vibrant community where sobriety is celebrated, and fun doesn’t need a drop of alcohol. In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', John sits down with Brandy K., the inspiring founder of the Boring Little Girls Club in Calgary, Alberta. This unique community welcomes sober women, trans, and non-binary folks who are redefining what it means to have a good time without alcohol or recreational drugs.
Brandy opens up about her personal journey through alcoholism, sharing candid stories of how she initially found her identity in drinking at a young age. She dives into her past, revealing how adverse childhood experiences led her to use alcohol as a coping mechanism for deep-seated pain. Through her healing process, Brandy discovered the power of self-care and the importance of creating safe, inclusive spaces for those on their sobriety journey.
The conversation between John and Brandy is filled with warmth and understanding as they discuss the significance of finding what works for you in recovery, whether it's AA, Buddhism, or any other path. Brandy emphasizes the need to diversify sober activities to keep life interesting and prevent burnout. Her insights are not just about staying sober but thriving in sobriety.
