I think it's just find your community. Therapy can help, but nothing is as powerful as someone sitting across from you telling you all of the horrible, horrible things they did in their drinking career. And now they're in this place where they've forgiven themselves, their family has forgiven them, their friends have forgiven them.
Ever wondered how much difference a supportive community can make in someone's sobriety journey? In this episode of Sobertown Podcast, host Viv, also known as Sober_iThrive, reconnects with Ashleybear, a Toronto native who began her sobriety journey in October 2020. Initially planning just a short break from alcohol, Ashley quickly discovered a wealth of benefits including reduced anxiety, increased energy, and overall better mental health.
Her story takes listeners through the highs and lows of her journey, emphasizing the critical role that community and vulnerability played in her recovery. Ashley speaks candidly about her experiences, highlighting how the love and support she found within the sobriety community helped her stay on track. Inspired by the connections she made, Ashley decided to give back by creating Potentialize Studio.
This platform shares diverse sobriety stories through video content, aiming to eliminate stigma and encourage others to seek help. Her dedication to fostering connection and understanding is evident as she discusses the importance of storytelling in breaking down barriers and building supportive networks. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Ashley's journey offers a compelling look at how community and vulnerability can transform lives.
