So really it does encourage us that when we aren't getting what we need, we do have to go to where we can get it met.
Imagine dedicating over a decade to sobriety, only to find yourself drifting away from the very principles that kept you grounded. That's the journey Anne Blakeney shares on this episode of 'Life Beyond Our Wildest Dreams'. As a sober mother of two from Nova Scotia, Canada, Anne opens up about the difficult period when she turned her back on her recovery and connections.
She describes the loneliness and sense of being 'dry' rather than truly sober, offering a candid look at the struggles that can arise even after years of sobriety. Anne's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is an ongoing process, and it's easy to lose sight of its importance if we're not careful. She delves into how the mind can deceive us into thinking we have everything under control, only to lead us astray.
Through her conversation with host Denise M, Anne emphasizes the crucial role of staying connected with others in the recovery community. She highlights how ego can be a dangerous obstacle, making us believe we don't need support. Anne's return to the 'sunshine of recovery' is both inspiring and educational, shedding light on the importance of humility and connection in maintaining sobriety.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for years, Anne's experience offers valuable insights and hope.
