This is going to teach you more about yourself than you ever thought that you could learn.
Ever thought about the stories you tell yourself every day? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Odette kicks things off by challenging us to rewrite those internal memos that often hold us back. She invites listeners to grab a sharpie and start changing the narrative in their minds. Then, we meet Sara, who took her last drink on December 2, 2018.
At 37, living just outside Minneapolis with her family and new puppy, Sara's story is one of transformation and resilience. She shares how she didn't drink in high school but began binge drinking in college. For her, alcohol initially provided a way to be more outgoing, but it eventually led to a cycle she knew she had to break. Sara opens up about the importance of community and accountability in her journey to sobriety.
She discusses how societal norms around drinking can be challenging, especially when parenting and maintaining relationships without alcohol. The episode dives into various strategies for tapering off alcohol, coping mechanisms during tough times like the pandemic, and finding joy in a sober life. One key takeaway is Sara's approach to adding excitement to her life post-alcohol, focusing on fulfillment rather than deprivation. Tune in to hear Sara's inspiring story and get practical advice on living an alcohol-free life.
