My addiction looks for differences between me and everyone else, and my recovery looks for similarities.
Ever wondered how someone can transition from documenting a wild party life to embracing sobriety and entrepreneurship? Jen McNeely, the founder of 'She Does the City', shares her compelling journey on this episode of The Bubble Hour. Back in 2007, Jen's blog about the party scene skyrocketed in popularity. But fast forward a few years, and Jen found herself at a crossroads, needing to give up alcohol and find a new way to live and work.
Jen recounts the days when she had a running tab at a dive bar, where bartenders knew her drink of choice without her even having to order. But after hitting rock bottom and facing hospitalization, she knew it was time for a change. Her path to sobriety wasn't just about quitting alcohol; it was about seeking healthier environments and building genuine connections with other women. One of the key elements in Jen's recovery was finding a supportive sober community.
She emphasizes the importance of 'recovering out loud'—sharing her story openly to inspire others and foster a sense of belonging. Jen also touches on how adopting a healthy lifestyle has positively impacted her recovery journey. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that underscores the power of community and the importance of finding spaces where you can be your true self.
Jen's story is a testament to the fact that with the right support and mindset, overcoming addiction is not only possible but can lead to a fulfilling and balanced life.
