But no, no, oh, I think it's interesting what you say about you not realizing that you're an introvert, and I imagine that probably resonates with a lot of people, because drinking is a lubricant, right, and we lose our inhibitions and then, you know, it becomes a social lubricant.
What if sobriety was your superpower? In this episode of 'What Next', host Karl Considine sits down with Mary, a pivotal figure in his own recovery journey. Mary’s story isn’t just about quitting alcohol; it’s about reclaiming her identity and discovering a life brimming with excitement and exploration. She reflects on how society normalizes drinking and shares her personal battles, including a moment of clarity in the shower at a young age, where she realized her drinking was problematic.
But it wasn’t until she hit rock bottom with suicidal depression that she sought help and embarked on her path to sobriety. Mary opens up about how sobriety revealed her true self, an introvert hidden beneath the haze of alcohol. She talks candidly about the challenges and triumphs of living without drama and finding joy in the everyday.
With aspirations to become an academic, Mary’s journey underscores the importance of support systems in recovery and highlights the many benefits of a sober life. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or supporting someone on their journey, Mary’s story is a testament to the transformative power of sobriety. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and found her superpower in living alcohol-free.
