I've become stronger, and so much of it is because I've just come to like myself so much more and as I've taken steps again and again and again to just try to reconcile my actions with the inner strength that I know was always there.
Ever wondered if living alcohol-free could actually boost your creativity? Jenny Dalton did, and she found out it absolutely can. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Bubble Hour', hosted by Jean McCarthy, Jenny opens up about her journey to sobriety and how it transformed her life in unexpected ways. She talks about her initial attempts to quit drinking through planned 'fasts'—taking breaks from alcohol for 30 days or more—to envision a life without it.
But it wasn't until the passing of her father that she truly committed to feeling her grief fully and living an alcohol-free life. Jenny reveals how sobriety has allowed her to engage more actively with her emotions and creativity. As a writer, she once feared that alcohol was essential to her creative process, but she discovered that being sober actually enhanced her artistic abilities.
During the downtime of the COVID pandemic, she revisited a novel she had written decades earlier, 'Of Butterflies and Bullies', which draws from her own experiences of being bullied in her pre-teen years. This project has been both healing and rewarding for her. Jenny's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding new ways to live fully and creatively. She shares how coaching, support groups, and mindfulness practices have played crucial roles in her recovery journey.
Tune in to hear Jenny's inspiring tale of personal growth and self-discovery, and learn how living alcohol-free can open up new avenues for creativity and fulfillment.
