Alcohol is a drug, and it's the only drug in our society that's peddled to us relentlessly and it's everywhere, and it's the only thing.
Ever thought about how pride can hold you back from getting sober? Andi Marie, a talented singer/songwriter and commercial actor from Nashville, shares her raw and honest journey in this episode of 'Creative Sobriety'. At just over a year sober, Andi opens up about the starts and stops that marked her path to sobriety. She talks about how pride was a major hurdle and how some events, which should have been wake-up calls, only pushed her deeper into drinking.
It wasn't until an intervention from her husband and family that Andi decided to detox at her parents' house. Even then, six months into her first attempt, she relapsed. But she sees this as part of her process of recovery. Now, as a sober artist, Andi's mornings are filled with writing music and creating visual art. She's even releasing a full album in the fall of 2021.
For those on a similar path, she highly recommends the book 'Alcohol Explained' by William Porter to understand alcohol's effects on the brain better. Andi's story is one of resilience, community support, and the power of vulnerability. If you're looking for inspiration and practical tips on staying sober while nurturing your creative side, this episode is a must-listen.
