I am just expanding my brand into the community- of being able to provide women a safe place to really talk about the really hard things that lead to us picking up that bottle as an external solution to an internal problem.
Imagine thinking you have it all under control, only to find yourself searching for spare change to buy alcohol at a gas station. That's the raw reality Michelle Smith faced. In this episode of 'The Sobriety Diaries', host Nate Kelly sits down with Michelle, a TEDx speaker, author, and founder of Recovery is the New Black, to unravel her journey from the clutches of 'mommy wine culture' to a life of sobriety and purpose.
Michelle candidly shares her story, highlighting how she initially managed her alcohol intake but gradually found herself making decisions where alcohol played a central role. Her 'Independence Day' came on the 4th of July, marking the start of her recovery journey in a women's facility. Through grit and determination, Michelle transformed her life and now dedicates herself to helping other women find the same freedom and confidence in sobriety.
She believes in the power of conversation and provides a safe space for women to discuss the tough issues that often lead to alcohol use as a coping mechanism. Michelle's insights into breaking down shame and guilt are particularly powerful. She talks about how many people struggling with addiction carry internalized hurt and how important it is to remember that they don't live in that place of shame anymore.
Her story is a testament to the possibility of recovery and the empowering nature of sobriety. For anyone battling addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope, practical tools, and a reminder that recovery starts with wanting it for yourself.
