Laura McKowen's Path to Clarity: Beyond Traditional Recovery

For me, it's just as hard as giving [alcohol] up, and it's not. But one of the things that we always talk about is like: that relationship that you're looking for is a relationship with yourself right, like, and, and that's and every relationship you have is a part of the relationship you have with yourself.
What if everything you thought about addiction was turned on its head? Laura McKowen, author of 'We Are The Luckiest', once believed life without alcohol couldn't be better. But she soon discovered how wrong she was. In this episode of 'Recover Yourself', host MartinJon sits down with Laura to unpack her journey from skepticism to a life filled with clarity and purpose. Laura shares how she transitioned from merely 'recovering from' addiction to 'recovering to' a fuller, more meaningful life.
Her insights aren't just for those battling addiction; they're for anyone feeling trapped by their habits, whether it's shopping, binge-watching, or anything else that leaves you empty. Laura's story emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and the role relationships play in genuine recovery. She also critiques traditional recovery programs, arguing that they often miss the bigger picture of what it means to truly recover.
If you're ready to see recovery in a new light and take steps toward a clearer, more intentional life, this episode is a must-listen.
