Tricia Lewis: Finding Fulfillment Beyond Alcohol on Positive Recovery MD

The fear of missing out is what keeps so many of us from ever giving it a solid chance. That fear is the biggest liar and it wasted so much of my time.
What happens when you finally decide to face the fear of missing out and choose a life without alcohol? Tricia Lewis, creator and host of the Recovery Happy Hour Podcast, joins Dr. Jason Powers on Positive Recovery MD to share her inspiring journey from addiction to sobriety. For years, Tricia was trapped in a cycle of emotional and physical dependence on alcohol, all while maintaining an outward appearance of having it all together.
Her story is one of transformation, as she took her last drink in November 2016 and discovered a life far richer than she ever imagined. In this episode, Tricia opens up about the struggles that many can relate to—being an overachiever, dealing with perfectionism, and the constant need to control everything around her. She talks candidly about using alcohol as a crutch to manage stress and sleep better, only to find herself drinking in the mornings and experiencing blackouts.
It was through listening to recovery stories on podcasts that Tricia realized she didn't have to label herself as an alcoholic to question her relationship with alcohol. Tricia's turning point came when she embraced flexibility in her recovery approach. She experimented with different strategies, sought professional help, and built positive habits that worked for her. Her message is clear: you don't have to let the fear of missing out hold you back from giving sobriety a real chance.
She encourages listeners to find joy and creativity in everyday life, emphasizing the importance of seeking professional support and developing habits that lead to a fulfilling life. This episode of Positive Recovery MD is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tricia's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about discovering a life worth living beyond the bottle.
Tune in for a conversation filled with hope, practical advice, and the reminder that it's okay to seek help and choose happiness.
