Louise's Journey to Nearly a Year of Sobriety: Reflections and Insights
I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but I'm not drinking today. That's all I can do. And if I can do that, then I can do anything.
How does someone make it to nearly a year of sobriety? In this episode of The Elizabeth Chance Podcast, Elizabeth sits down with Louise to explore her journey to 11 months without alcohol. Louise opens up about the hurdles she faced in the early days of recovery, emphasizing the importance of focusing on oneself and taking it one day at a time. She shares how her support group, particularly her AA community, played a vital role in her success.
Louise's story is a testament to the power of community and the need to prioritize self-care. As she says, 'Adding anything to my life other than getting up, taking care of my children, going to work, making sure I eat, get exercise, and going to bed without drinking was really all I could handle.' This episode dives into the rewards of sobriety, like finding peace, gaining self-awareness, and being present in the moment.
Whether you're in early recovery or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and inspiration.
