Holly Whitaker: Transforming Recovery with Hip Sobriety
I knew I had to do something with what I had found working in the healthcare industry and seeing how limited the healthcare industry was, and that so many sick people turn to it and look like me, don't identify as an addict and don't identify as an alcoholic, and don't want to go to a church basement and want a more holistic recovery and want something that can see them as a human.
Ever felt like traditional recovery methods just don’t fit? Holly Whitaker certainly did. In this episode of The Journey of Integral Recovery Podcast, Holly shares her unique path to sobriety and how it led her to create Hip Sobriety. Frustrated with the one-size-fits-all approach of traditional healthcare, Holly sought a more personalized and holistic method to tackle addiction.
She talks candidly about her struggles and how they shaped her vision for Hip Sobriety—a program that respects the individuality of each person's journey. Holly dives into the power of rituals in building a fulfilling life and the significant role social media plays in our recovery stories. She also highlights the need for inclusive language that resonates with everyone, not just those who identify as addicts. Plus, Holly passionately discusses empowering the next generation to steer clear of addiction.
