It was an epiphany for Jean to quit drinking when she was ahead, instead of waiting until she lost it all.
Imagine realizing you don't have to lose everything to quit drinking. That's Jean McCarthy's story. As the host of 'The Bubble Hour' and 'Tiny Bubbles', Jean shares her journey to sobriety on the 'Sober Friends' podcast with Matt J and Steve C. She opens up about her fears of attending AA meetings and the misconception that you need to hit rock bottom to get sober.
Jean's story is a refreshing reminder that you can take control before things spiral out of control.

She feared judgment and felt isolated, thinking she was unique in her struggles. It wasn't until she discovered online recovery communities that she found the support she needed. Her story highlights the power of finding a recovery path that works for you.
In this episode, Jean also discusses the dangers of ego in recovery. Being an overachiever, she had to learn that success in recovery isn't about achievements but about balance and humility. Her insights are a gentle nudge to stay grounded on the recovery journey. Jean's experience is a beacon of hope for anyone feeling trapped by addiction. She proves that it's never too late to seek help and turn your life around.
