Jean McCarthy: Embracing Sobriety and Community

As we heal, those things we don't even know are hurting inside of us. And what that's done for me as a human being is it has made me less judgmental of others. So it has fundamentally changed me as a person.
Ever wondered how a journey of sobriety can transform not just a life, but an entire community? Jean McCarthy, an award-winning blogger and podcast host, shares her incredible story on this episode of Avalon Recovery Society Radio. Starting her blog, UnPickled, on her very first day of sobriety back in 2011, Jean has chronicled her ups and downs with raw honesty and humor.
Her conversation with host Leanne Utendale dives deep into the hustle for worthiness and the addiction to approval that once fueled her drinking. Jean opens up about the profound changes sobriety has brought into her life, emphasizing the irreplaceable value of community and connection in the recovery process. Imagine walking into a room full of people who truly understand your struggles—Jean describes this as one of the most healing experiences in her journey.
She also discusses the physical and emotional healing that comes with sobriety, making her less judgmental and more empathetic towards others. Throughout the episode, Jean highlights her work in recovery advocacy, stressing the importance of breaking the silence and stigma surrounding addiction. She passionately encourages those struggling to seek help and assures them that they are not alone. Tune in to hear Jean's inspiring story of transformation, healing, and the power of community support.
