I think my co-sponsor always asks or asked me, and now I asked my sponsor. You know, I had a good job, I had a car I had, I had a lot of things that you know that, on the surface, looked like I had my act together.
Picture yourself in a new country, trying to rebuild your life from the ground up. That’s exactly what Emily Cornell, a former advertising executive turned expat, is doing in Brussels. In this episode of The Unruffled Podcast, hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas sit down with Emily to discuss her unique path to sobriety and creativity.
Emily shares how living abroad has pushed her to get inventive with her recovery strategies, incorporating activities like the Recovery Gals Art Exchange, virtual coffee dates, and the Write Doe Bay writing retreat into her routine. These creative outlets have been crucial in her journey to embrace 'sober' and 'writer' as part of her public identity. Emily also opens up about the significance of community and accountability in maintaining sobriety.
She talks about the value of connecting with others, whether through in-person exercise classes or virtual hangouts, and how these interactions have strengthened her commitment to a sober life. One of the standout moments in this conversation is Emily’s emphasis on self-esteem and engaging in esteemable acts. She explains how these practices have helped her build a solid foundation for her recovery.
By sharing her own story, Emily underscores the transformative power of storytelling and how it has impacted her life.
