If you can't be good at being a good drunk, that's kind of a cool thing. If you suck at drinking, you might be an alcoholic.
What happens when you hit rock bottom and find a way to climb back up? In this episode of 'Talksicology', Jason and Joseph sit down with Michelle Smith, the inspiring founder of Recovery is the New Black. Michelle's journey is anything but ordinary. After multiple hospitalizations and losing her job to addiction, she knew something had to change. But it wasn't just about stopping the drinking; it was about starting to listen—to herself and to those who wanted to help.
Growing up in a family of alcoholic doctors, Michelle had a front-row seat to the struggles and heartbreaks of addiction. Yet, it took losing both her parents for her to truly confront her own demons. Now, with seven years of sobriety under her belt, Michelle is not only present for her own kids but also a beacon of hope for countless women seeking a supportive community. The conversation is raw, honest, and sprinkled with moments of humor.
It's a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of finding your purpose. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of insights and inspiration.
