Sara McGee: Finding Peace and Purpose in Sobriety
You don't have to listen to what other people tell you to do. You can have those moments of peace, contentment, and happiness. You just need to decide what it is in your life that you don't have to do anymore.
Ever feel like you're the only one who can't find peace while everyone else seems to have it all together? Sara McGee felt that way too. In this special 200th episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Sara, a dear friend of host Omar Pinto, opens up about her intense journey from being a blackout drinker to celebrating two years of sobriety.
A natural leader and an active member of the SHAIR Sobriety Network, Sara's story is a testament to resilience and the power of community. Sara’s life was a constant struggle to appear perfect. From college through her career and into motherhood, she wore a mask of competence while battling anxiety and turning to alcohol for relief. It wasn’t until she heard a simple yet profound inner voice saying, 'You don't have to...' that she began her path to recovery.
In this heartfelt conversation, Sara shares how finding her tribe in the recovery community played a crucial role in her sobriety. She talks about the importance of exercise and how it became a cornerstone of her new life. Faith also plays a significant part in her journey, helping her navigate the ups and downs of recovery. Sara's story is not just about quitting drinking; it's about taking responsibility for your own happiness and breaking free from perfectionism.
