So I was just feeling really stuck and knowing that it was kind of that uncomfortable time where you know change is going to happen soon, but you don't know how soon.
What happens when social drinking spirals out of control? Colleen Schroeder's story is a compelling look at how casual drinking can lead to unexpected challenges and eventual transformation. In this episode of The Bubble Hour, hosted by Jean McCarthy, Colleen opens up about her early experiences with alcohol, the turning point that led her to sobriety, and the impact it had on her relationships.
She candidly shares how drinking started in high school as a way to fit in and quickly became a weekend routine filled with heavy consumption and unbearable hangovers. Despite these struggles, it took years for Colleen to realize that her drinking was more than just social fun; it was a problem that needed addressing. Just three weeks after her wedding, Colleen made the brave decision to get sober, a change that required significant adjustments in her relationship with her husband.
With his support and the encouragement of the recovery community, she navigated the rocky road of early sobriety. Today, Colleen is not just sober; she's a passionate advocate for recovery and a coach helping others on their journey to sobriety. She talks about the challenges of staying alcohol-free in social settings and the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-compassion. Colleen's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is a continuous journey filled with ups and downs.
Her work as an advocate and coach underscores the transformative power of reflection and growth in sobriety. Tune in to hear Colleen's inspiring journey and gain insights into the challenges and triumphs of living an alcohol-free life.
