I just thought I could do it on my own. And, you know, this is something that happens as we go further and further into, I want to say alcoholism, but dependence on anything, behaviors that are maladaptive, is that we become more and more isolated and we really don't want people to know.
Imagine sitting down with someone who's been through the wringer of alcohol addiction and come out the other side, not just surviving but thriving. That's what you'll get in this episode of 'Sober Awkward' as Vic and Hamish sit down with Jean McCarthy. Jean, a writer and recovery advocate from Alberta, Canada, shares her journey of getting sober back in 2011 and how it led her to become a beacon of hope for many others.
From her blog 'Unpickled' to her widely popular 'Bubble Hour' podcast, Jean has been a guiding light for those seeking a sober life. Vic and Hamish dive into Jean's personal story, discussing the stigma around alcohol issues and the importance of seeking support. Jean opens up about the challenges she faced and how her partner played a supportive role in her recovery. It's not all heavy though; there are plenty of laughs and light-hearted moments as well.
This episode is perfect for anyone looking for inspiration on their own sobriety journey or simply wanting to hear an honest, heartfelt conversation about the ups and downs of getting sober.
