Life in recovery is never a solo journey, and 'The Courage to Change' podcast is here to remind you of that. In this episode, hosts Ashley Loeb Blassingame and Christiana Kimmich dive into the intertwined challenges of sobriety and motherhood. They bring their usual blend of humor and honesty, making even the toughest topics feel approachable. The episode starts with a look back at Emily's story, touching on her battles with an eating disorder and addiction.
It's a raw reminder that recovery often means tackling multiple issues at once. Ashley and Christiana don’t just talk about staying sober; they share their own experiences and the heartbreak of losing friends to addiction. One story that stands out is Ashley's account of her friend Justine, who struggled deeply and tragically lost her battle. It’s a poignant moment that underscores the importance of staying sober between meetings and finding strength in community support.
This episode isn't just about the struggles, though. It also highlights the different coping mechanisms Ashley and Christiana have developed over the years. From unconventional recovery strategies to the critical role of self-care, they offer practical advice for anyone on their own journey. They emphasize that sobriety is more than just avoiding alcohol or drugs; it's about building a life filled with hope, resilience, and a supportive community.
Whether you're a mother trying to navigate sobriety or someone looking for inspiration and support, this episode offers a wealth of insights and resources. Tune in for an honest conversation that’s as enlightening as it is comforting.
