Lisa and Tawny's Sobriety Stories: From Bartender to Blogger and Beyond
“Once I saw my relationship to alcohol for what it was instead of what it wasn't. That was just this huge game changer for me”
Have you ever wondered how two people with vastly different drinking habits can find common ground in sobriety? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara open up about their unique journeys to quitting alcohol. Tawny, who spent years as a career bartender and social butterfly, initially didn't see her drinking as a problem because it was part of her social scene.
But when she challenged herself to a year without alcohol, she discovered new ways to enjoy life and truly connect with herself. On the flip side, Lisa was a high-functioning alcohol abuser who often drank alone to escape her feelings. For years, she couldn't imagine life without alcohol until she faced the reality of her addiction and embraced a new identity. Throughout the episode, they discuss the importance of support systems and finding new identities in recovery.
Their candid conversation offers a blend of humor, honesty, and hope, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with their own relationship to alcohol.
