Sarah Elizabeth's Journey: Embracing Sobriety Out Loud

For me, it was a-step program and I learned I wasn't a failure. Once you put down the drink and commit to self-healing and self-love and self-discernment, self-forgiveness, you're going to start to see the things that you're struggling with right now.
Imagine reaching a point where just one drink is never enough. Sarah Elizabeth, the host of 'Sober Gratitudes', found herself in this exact situation nearly nine years ago. In this eye-opening episode, Sarah candidly shares her personal struggle with alcohol and the shame that accompanied it. She felt like a failure, but over time, she discovered that her drinking problem wasn't a moral failing but a sickness she could overcome.
Through the 12-step program, Sarah learned she wasn't alone or weird—she had alcoholism. With the support of others, she started to live a better life, free from addiction's chains. However, the journey wasn't easy. For years, she grappled with embarrassment and shame, reluctant to share her story openly. But now, Sarah speaks out loud about her recovery, emphasizing that choosing sobriety is a radical act of self-love and personal growth.
She dives into the societal stigma surrounding addiction and how pervasive alcohol is in our culture. Her story is not just about quitting drinking; it's about reclaiming one's life and identity. If you're looking for an honest, heartfelt account of overcoming addiction and the transformative power of sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
