Well, it's something where all my friends in New York City, my community, is largely people in recovery of all different types of fellowships.
How does one juggle sobriety, creativity, and the challenges of a global pandemic? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', writer, actor, and comedian Sean Barry Parsons opens up about his journey through sobriety and recovery. Sean dives into his experiences with relapse, the critical role of support groups, and the ongoing battle with an eating disorder.
Growing up in a family where drinking was a common thread, Sean faced the struggle of coming to terms with his sexuality during his teenage years. This led him to retreat from social drinking, but he still grappled with alcohol consumption. His story is one of finding fellowship and serenity through support groups, emphasizing the importance of not just attending but actively participating in recovery programs.
Sean also touches on his struggles with body image and how he made conscious lifestyle changes to align with his long-term goals. He shares the significance of self-care and how even one day sober is a victory worth celebrating. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as Sean and John discuss the impact of Covid on their creative lives. Sean reflects on his time in improv, comedy, and theater groups, revealing how boredom led him to create his own content.
This episode offers a blend of personal reflections and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating sobriety, dealing with eating disorders, or simply looking for creative inspiration during challenging times.
