Walking the Path to Recovery: A Conversation with Person Irresponsible
There's no mechanism in us, no biological response in us that says I've had enough... It's not something you know, it's not like you know queen of the village, it's not something you want to be.
Picture this: a mid-life crisis, a quad-bike, and a journey from Mexico to Canada. In this episode of Sobertown Podcast, Imust chats with Person Irresponsible, the witty and candid author of 'Everything You Ever Taught Me'. This isn't your typical recovery story. Person Irresponsible, who got into the recovery scene at 41, shares her unique take on battling addiction and finding herself along the way.
With humor and raw honesty, she talks about the unexpected twists in her life, like swapping a Ferrari fantasy for a quad-bike and eventually selling it to live in the American wilderness for six months. She’s now a divorcee, teetotaller, vegetarian, and cat owner - quite the dinner party guest, right? But beneath the humor lies a powerful narrative of resilience and self-discovery. If you’re grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing perspective.
It’s not just about sobriety; it’s about embracing life’s quirks and finding strength in unexpected places. Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends laughter with profound insights into the journey of recovery.
