I choose to believe that my higher power is going to get me through it, and so I'm going to just.
Ever wondered what it’s like to turn your life around after years of binge drinking? Arlina Allen, the host of the ODAAT Chat Podcast, knows firsthand. Since 1994, she’s been clean and sober, but her journey wasn’t easy. Arlina used to think that waking up with puke on her shoes meant she had a great time. Alcohol brought out different sides of her, and she never knew which one would show up at the party—or what they’d do.
She believed that finding the right man would solve all her problems, but Prince Charming never came. Her life only began to change when she removed alcohol from the equation. In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Arlina opens up about replacing alcohol with genuine connections and how she’s now starting the Sober Life School.
She dives into her struggles with love addiction and toxic relationships, sharing how journaling, gratitude, and service helped her face her fears and move past self-pity. Arlina also talks about the importance of building a solid support system and offers a seven-day challenge to help others on their recovery journey.
If you’re looking for inspiration and practical advice, Arlina’s story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that there’s beauty in finding purpose in a life free from addiction.
