For me, parenting almost feels like that is why I need to drink, because it's so hard. So I'm just grateful that I was able to come back and, honestly, the women and men that I've shared on your show.
Have you ever wondered if you could drink 'normally' after years of sobriety? Sarah did, and it led her down a challenging path of relapse. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', Sarah opens up about her journey back to early recovery and the lessons she's learned along the way. Hosted by Jean McCarthy, this conversation digs deep into the complexities of addiction and the hope that comes with recovery.
Sarah's story is a raw and honest look at the struggles many face when trying to stay sober. She discusses how normalized drinking behavior from her childhood played a role in her relapse and how therapy helped her uncover layers of self-destructive behavior. As a parent, Sarah shares how her desire to be sober intensified and how she found hope despite the hurdles. One of the key takeaways from Sarah's experience is the importance of community support.
She talks about how attending meetings and connecting with others who understand her struggles has been a source of comfort and strength. Sarah also touches on the themes of guilt and forgiveness, emphasizing the need for self-compassion. The episode wraps up on a hopeful note with Sarah discussing the significance of surrendering control in recovery. She shares a quote that resonated with her: 'I control it, I don't enjoy it. I enjoy it, I don't control it'.
This encapsulates the struggle of addiction and the freedom that comes with letting go. Sarah's journey is a powerful reminder of the resilience needed to overcome addiction and find joy in sobriety.
