All these women were home, all of these moms were home and everyone who was drinking for stress or coping, uh, who maybe were drinking at a manageable level, it seemed like they weren't anymore.
Imagine juggling motherhood, a career, and battling addiction all at once. That’s the story of Emily Paulson, this week's guest on 'If I'm Being Honest' with Dan Karaty. Emily, a mother of five, author, and the founder of The Sober Mom Squad, opens up about her journey through alcoholism and how it affected her family life. She shares the moment she realized her drinking was taking a toll on her loved ones and the steps she took to seek help.
Emily's candid discussion emphasizes the importance of having a strong support system and the courage to make significant changes for the better. The Sober Mom Squad, her brainchild, is a digital platform offering resources, community, and support specifically for mothers dealing with addiction. Emily talks about the unique challenges mothers face and how her platform provides a safe space for them to share their experiences and find solidarity.
One of the key points Emily touches on is the pervasive drinking culture that often promotes alcohol as a stress-reliever, especially for parents. She argues that this coping mechanism can actually worsen stress and anxiety, making recovery even more critical. Emily also highlights the mental health benefits of sobriety and the positive impact it has on relationships.
Writing has been a therapeutic outlet for Emily, and her book 'Hey, Hun' is a testament to her journey of vulnerability and self-reflection in sobriety. Through her story, Emily offers hope and practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction, underscoring that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset.
