Embracing Sobriety Through Seasons: Mandy Manners' Journey and Guide

I think the biggest takeaway from that book is that as we're developing, if we experience trauma as we earlier defined it- growing up, then it actually affects the way our nervous system develops and it explains why some of us are labeled as overly sensitive, or you're just being a drama queen.
How can the changing seasons influence your path to sobriety? In this engaging episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', Arlina Allen chats with Mandy Manners, co-author of 'Love Your Sober Year: A Seasonal Guide to Alcohol-Free Living'. Mandy shares her personal journey to sobriety, highlighting how the rhythms of nature can support recovery.
The book, co-written with her friend Kate Baily, offers a fresh perspective on staying sober by aligning recovery efforts with the natural cycles of the year. It's not just about abstaining from alcohol; it's about embracing a holistic approach that considers the impact of trauma on our nervous system and behavior. Mandy discusses the importance of community in her recovery and the powerful role writing has played in her healing process.
The conversation also touches on managing transition periods and recognizing triggers. Whether you're new to sobriety or looking for additional tools to support your journey, this episode provides practical advice and inspiration. Tune in to learn how you can harness the power of the seasons to aid your recovery.
