Being able to talk about your drinking with people who are not going to judge you and who completely understand how it is that you're feeling. That's what the power of community can provide you, and you can get that online very easily.
Ever found yourself wondering if you might have a drinking problem, but not quite sure what to do next? In this episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy tackles that exact dilemma. Jean dives into the common struggle many face: the endless loop of questioning whether they're truly an alcoholic. She breaks down this 'contemplative arc'—a phase where people spend a lot of time mulling over their drinking habits without taking action.
Jean doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; she offers practical advice and resources to help listeners move from contemplation to action. What's in it for you? Jean emphasizes the importance of community in the journey to sobriety. Imagine having a group of people who understand exactly what you're going through, without any judgment. That’s the kind of support she talks about, and it's easier to find than you might think.
Whether you're in the early stages of questioning your drinking or ready to take that first step towards sobriety, this episode is packed with valuable insights and encouragement. Jean also highlights the power of self-care and how it can be a game-changer in your recovery journey. She shares stories and quotes that resonate deeply, like the importance of finding people who 'completely understand how it is that you're feeling'.
If you're looking for motivation to make a change or just need a bit of guidance on where to start, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover how taking that leap can lead to a better, sober life.
