I just want to encourage anybody, you know, anybody that's struggling or anybody that is wondering if they're curious about getting sober, you know, make the leap. I, I'm promising you that it's worth it. And even if you make the leap and then, you know, you start drinking again, just know that you're among a group of people. It takes on average, what they say, like seven times for people to quit drinking or to give it up completely, you know, just stick with it and just keep doing the next best thing for you.
Imagine battling alcohol abuse while working in healthcare, where you're expected to have all the answers. In this episode of 'This is Sober', host Molly Desch sits down with Christy Sloan, a dedicated nurse and wellness coach who knows this struggle all too well. Christy opens up about her journey through the ups and downs of sobriety, from white-knuckling her way through the first year to facing a devastating relapse.
Her story takes a poignant turn when she shares how her father's battle with cancer became a wake-up call, pushing her to seek a healthier, more holistic lifestyle for herself and her newborn child. Christy's credentials are impressive: a BSN, RN, Certified Wellness Coach, Yoga teacher, and a future Board-Certified Nurse Coach. But what really stands out is her passion for promoting holistic health and healing.
She challenges the conventional question, 'Am I an alcoholic?', urging people to ask instead, 'Is alcohol serving my life?' This shift in perspective is just one of the many insights she offers in this heartfelt conversation. Together, Molly and Christy explore the societal stigma surrounding alcoholism and the often-overlooked role of holistic health in recovery. They discuss the importance of intentional breathing and mindfulness as tools for achieving a relaxed and open state of mind.
Christy's advocacy for integrating mind-body medicine into healthcare provides valuable takeaways for anyone on the path to sobriety. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen. Christy's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative potential of holistic health practices. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and how you can too.
