Our bodies are not designed to deal with that sort of stuff. The world just opens up when the alcohol goes. You know I don't have a little narrative in my head, which you know is so liberating, and I'm not sure if that makes sense to anyone who hasn't been in that position, but I think anyone who has would understand what I mean, and that's the thing I'm still grateful for- is just being free?
Ever wondered how putting pen to paper can change your life? In this episode of 'Sober Bliss', Gayle Macdonald sits down with Clare Pooley, the celebrated author behind 'The Sober Diaries', 'The Authenticity Project', and 'The People on Platform Five'. Clare opens up about her personal battles with addiction and how writing became her lifeline.
She shares how diving deep into her emotions and translating them into words not only helped her heal but also inspired countless others facing similar struggles.
