Lisa Boucher: Navigating Recovery in a Drinking Culture

I think it's really a story about a woman in recovery, your mother, yourself and any woman in recovery.
What happens when you grow up surrounded by alcoholism and decide to break the cycle? In this episode of 'Life Beyond Our Wildest Dreams', Denise M sits down with award-winning author Lisa Boucher to discuss her lifelong journey with recovery. Lisa, who has been sober for over three decades, shares how her mother's battle with alcoholism influenced her own path to sobriety. As a registered nurse, she brings a unique perspective on the intersection of medical care and addiction recovery.
Lisa's book, 'Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture', serves as a cornerstone for the conversation, highlighting key points about family dynamics, trauma, and the often-overlooked experiences of women in recovery. This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about making conscious decisions in a world that often glorifies drinking. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Lisa's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
Tune in for an enlightening discussion that tackles the complexities of living sober in a society that loves its alcohol.
