I really thought I was such a lovelorn, just like such a lonely heart, and when I was getting sober I was like I'm going to meet my husband in the rooms of aa, and you know that turned out.
Ever wondered what it’s like to wake up and not remember the night before? In this episode of 'Over The Influence', hosts Sharon Hartley, Freddie, and Ben Anderson sit down with Sarah Hepola, the author of 'Blackout: Remembering The Things I Drank To Forget'. This memoir has been a lifeline for many on their sobriety journey, including the hosts themselves.
Sarah dives deep into her experiences with blackouts, those unsettling gaps in memory that many joke about but few truly understand. Her raw honesty about the early days of sobriety, where she often mourned her drinking days, offers a refreshing perspective on the struggles and triumphs of giving up alcohol. She began writing 'Blackout' six months into her sobriety as a way to stay motivated, but it soon became clear that sobriety itself was the real treasure.
This episode isn't just about the dark times; it's also a celebration of the clarity, motivation, and purpose that come with living alcohol-free. Sarah's story underscores the importance of community support in recovery and provides valuable insights for anyone grappling with addiction or curious about an alcohol-free life. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is encouraging.
