Dana's Sobriety Journey: The Power of Community and Self-Compassion
I guess, even if it doesn't get better, at least it will start. It will stop getting worse and, relatively speaking, that is better.
Ever wondered how community can play a pivotal role in sobriety? In this episode of the 'Sober Girl Podcast', Ashley Hasson chats with Dana, the voice behind the 'I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye' podcast. Dana opens up about his path to sobriety, highlighting what he did differently this time around. He shares the significant impact of trauma on his addiction and the crucial step of admitting and accepting his struggles with alcohol.
Dana talks about the tools that have helped him, including daily readings, courses, and the Reframe app, which have all contributed to his journey.

He also stresses the need for self-compassion and taking responsibility for one's actions, offering a message of hope for anyone facing similar challenges.
