I just want to be at peace, and I've come a really long way with that, because I've learned to be content and at peace with myself at least some of the time- not all the time, but some of the time- and that makes all of the other external life things so much easier to handle.
Sara McGee's story is a powerful testament to the journey of finding peace and self-acceptance through sobriety. In this milestone 200th episode of The Recovery Revolution, hosted by Omar Pinto, Sara opens up about her past as a hardcore blackout drinker and the internal battles she faced with perfectionism and people-pleasing. From college life to career pressures and the demands of motherhood, alcohol was her coping mechanism for the anxiety that shadowed her every move.
Despite achieving many goals, Sara felt like an imposter, always fearing she'd be found out. But one pivotal moment changed everything when she heard a voice say, 'You don't have to...'. This episode dives into how Sara built a strong foundation for her recovery, incorporating spirituality, exercise, and the support of a sponsor. Her journey highlights the transformative power of self-acceptance and finding common ground with others in recovery.
Sara's candid reflections offer hope and inspiration, showing that it's possible to find contentment and peace, even if it's just some of the time. Tune in to hear how she navigated her path to sobriety and what keeps her grounded today.
