Whether you're a person on an addiction sobriety path or you know someone who is, we are here to talk about our journey with it and, more importantly, we want to help end the stigma and shame of alcoholism and we want to bring some hope and laughter along the way too.
In this heartfelt episode of Daily Dose of Dr Marry & DD, hosts Dr. Mary Ellen Barnes and Dayna Abraham sit down with Jean McCarthy, the voice behind the blog UnPickled. Jean opens up about her personal battle with alcoholism and the steps she took towards recovery. The conversation centers around her book, 'Preparing to be Alcohol-Free,' which offers practical advice for those looking to evaluate their drinking habits and embrace sobriety.
Jean doesn't shy away from discussing the physical and emotional hurdles she faced, including the often-taboo topic of withdrawal symptoms. The trio also tackles the stigma and shame that frequently accompany addiction, sharing their own experiences to help others feel less isolated. The episode is packed with useful tips for navigating the holiday season, a time many find particularly challenging when trying to stay sober. Jean shares her strategies for finding overlooked comforts and managing expectations during this festive period.
One of the most touching parts of the episode is when Jean talks about her journey towards self-acceptance. She explains how embracing her true self allowed her to celebrate her unique gifts without feeling ashamed. To cap it all off, Jean reads some of her poetry, leaving listeners with a sense of hope and inspiration. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
It’s a reminder that you're not alone and that recovery is possible.
