Life is about doing things, hearing things, reading things and speaking in a way that makes that pink cloud there for you, which is what I try and do, you know, with my sobriety now.
When Jamie from Long Island sat down with Brian Adkins for an episode of 'Recovery Rising', she brought with her a story that’s both raw and inspiring. Recently celebrating her first year of sobriety, Jamie opens up about her journey from social drinking to the depths of alcoholism, and the incredible transformation that followed.
Her family’s complicated relationship with alcohol set the stage for her struggles; while her father abstained, her mother’s transition from a high-functioning to a low-functioning alcoholic left a lasting impact. Jamie herself began as a casual drinker but soon found herself spiraling out of control. Hitting rock bottom in April last year was the wake-up call she needed to embrace sobriety. She shares how tools like yoga and maintaining a gratitude journal have been instrumental in her recovery.
Jamie prefers the term 'recovery' over 'sobriety' because it signifies an active process of using various resources to build a better life. The episode also touches on the unique challenges of staying sober during a pandemic, where in-person meetings and events are scarce. Jamie highlights the importance of connecting with others in recovery, even if it’s through virtual means. Her story is a testament to the power of gratitude and community support in overcoming addiction.
Jamie’s aspiration to become a yoga teacher reflects her desire to give back and help others find peace in their bodies and minds. Tune in to hear Jamie’s heartfelt narrative and find inspiration in her journey from darkness to light.
