We really worship happiness in our culture in North America and value it heavily, which you know is almost, I think, a burden to individuals who feel some kind of lack of responsibility if they don't feel happy.
Ever wondered how sobriety reshapes your life, especially in the second half? Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker sit down with Ann Dowsett Johnston, the bestselling author of 'Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Woman and Alcohol', to dive into this very topic. Ann, a seasoned journalist and advocate for women's sobriety, shares her journey of recovery, now in its ninth year.
They chat about her latest writing endeavors, the complexities of dating and relationships post-alcohol, and how she navigates the murky waters of depression and loss. With 'Drink' being a go-to resource for understanding women and addiction, Ann’s perspective is both enlightening and deeply personal. This episode is packed with heartfelt discussions and valuable insights that anyone on a path to recovery will find relatable and inspiring.
Tune in for a candid conversation that touches on the culture of alcohol, the importance of advocating for meaningful causes, and what it truly means to rebuild your life after addiction.
