Getting sober for me has allowed me to really do the things and make the things and try things that I told myself before I wasn't allowed to do, which I don't know when that started or why that started, but it, you know it's kind of it, is still here.
What happens when creativity meets sobriety? In this episode of The Unruffled Podcast, hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas wrap up their Sober Sister Summer Series with a captivating conversation with Susan Sainsbury.

As her journey progressed, her toolbox evolved to include real-life community connections and cherished alone time. Susan's story underscores the importance of finding what works for you and taking proactive steps in recovery.
