I always say it's so important to our clients who are starting their own recovery journey to make that network a priority.
In this episode of The Sober Unicorn, Holden is joined by Mia to discuss the impact of outside influences on her journey to sobriety. Mia opens up about her experiences with alcoholism and how external factors played a significant role in her realisation that she needed help. From growing up in a household where alcohol was absent to moving in with her father and stepmother who drank heavily, Mia's story is one of dramatic change and adaptation.
Her candid account of the struggles she faced, including an abusive relationship and a traumatic assault, sheds light on the importance of seeking support and not facing these battles alone. Mia's friendship with Morgan, a recovering opiate addict, was a turning point in her life. It was through Morgan's support and the realisation that her mother saw her as an alcoholic that Mia decided to get sober.
Despite not having health insurance, she attended AA meetings regularly and built a network of supportive friends who helped her stay on track. The episode also touches on the challenges of staying sober during the pandemic and the role of work in maintaining sobriety. Mia shares how she used her job to help others while also keeping herself busy and away from alcohol.
The conversation between Holden and Mia is both heartfelt and humorous, providing valuable insights into the recovery process. They discuss the importance of therapy, the value of the 12 steps, and the need for a strong support system. Mia's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with determination and the right support. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on staying sober, this episode is a must-listen.
