Stopping drinking does not mean you have to go into a program of recovery. For Tawny, it was getting in the way of being the version of herself she wanted to be.
Ever thought you had to lose it all before deciding to quit alcohol? In Episode 107 of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara tackle this very myth. Drawing from their own journeys, they reveal that hitting rock bottom isn't a prerequisite for choosing sobriety. Tawny opens up about her 'AHA' moment when she realized alcohol was hindering her from being her best self.
On the other hand, Lisa shares a more dramatic experience where she felt her life was at risk if she didn't make a change. Despite their different paths, both agree that waiting for a catastrophic low isn't necessary to recognize the harm alcohol can cause. They also discuss the common pressure to compare one's drinking habits with others, emphasizing that the real question is whether life could be better without alcohol.
The episode includes their Music Minute segment featuring tunes from the Rolling Stones, the B-52s, and Jackson Browne. Tune in for a blend of personal stories, practical advice, and some rock and roll wisdom.
