The reason I was able to hide the extent of my alcohol intake from people was because I started drinking once I was safely home for the day and I drank in such a way that I really timed it. I really knew I was on a trajectory and I did not want to go where this was going to take me. And I did not want to have that terrible example, that terrible experience, whatever rock bottom was destined to be for me.
Ever wondered what it's like to turn your life around before hitting rock bottom? Jean McCarthy, the voice behind 'The Bubble Hour' and author of 'UnPickled', joins Gayle Macdonald on this episode of Sober Bliss to share her eye-opening journey to sobriety. Jean opens up about the moment she knew it was time to quit drinking and how she managed to keep her struggles hidden from those around her.
She dives into the early days of her sober life, revealing the challenges and triumphs that came with them. But Jean's story doesn't stop at personal recovery. She talks about the birth of 'The Bubble Hour', a podcast that has become a lifeline for many in the recovery community. Jean highlights how quitting alcohol has transformed her life in unimaginable ways, emphasizing the crucial role of self-care and building meaningful relationships.
She also touches on the importance of connecting with others who are on the same path and how fear often manifests as a voice of addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on their own journey to sobriety. Jean's candid storytelling and Gayle's empathetic interviewing style make for an engaging and uplifting conversation that will leave you feeling hopeful and motivated.
