Imagine the courage it takes to change your relationship with alcohol. In this episode of She Surrenders - The Podcast, Sherry Hoppen is joined by Lynne, Christina, Tarrah, and Kali to share their experiences and the importance of accountability in the journey to sobriety. They dive into recognising unhealthy habits and the need for a supportive community. It's a heartfelt conversation about the struggles and triumphs of embracing a sober life, filled with personal anecdotes and practical advice.
Lynne opens up about her initial struggle to find accountability after treatment, emphasising the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive recovery community. Christina discusses the challenges of honesty, both with oneself and with others, and how it plays a crucial role in maintaining sobriety. Tarrah shares her perspective on the necessity of building new relationships and the impact it has on one's journey to becoming a new person.
The episode also touches on the concept of 'white-knuckle sobriety'—gritting your teeth and just making it through without real growth or happiness. The guests stress that true change comes from being honest and seeking support from those who understand the journey. They highlight the importance of planning ahead to avoid temptations and the value of having friends who can celebrate your small victories.
Sherry and her guests remind us that while sobriety is challenging, it's far more rewarding than staying stuck in unhealthy patterns. They encourage listeners to seek out friends who care about what's inside rather than just appearances. If you're struggling with alcohol or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Don't miss out on this inspiring discussion that could be the nudge you need to start or continue your own journey towards a sober future.
