Anne S. on Staying Sober Through Life's Storms

Ask for help, look at your routine and say what is in my routine that actually helps support me. Really, ask yourself what are the things that would support me, what's the kind thing, the gentle thing, and move forward with that, because people do want to help you and once you let them, it does just open the doors for you to help yourself.
Imagine facing a wildfire that forces you and your family to flee your home with just moments to spare. In this gripping episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy sits down with Anne S., author of 'A 30 Day Journey to Stillness' and blogger at ainsobriety.wordpress.com, to discuss how she navigated this exact scenario. Anne shares her personal journey of maintaining sobriety during a time when everything around her was in chaos.
With wildfires threatening her community and displacing 90,000 people in a single day, Anne's story is one of incredible resilience and unwavering commitment to her recovery. Anne opens up about the crucial role that routine, self-care, and asking for help played in her journey. She also touches on how blogging became a lifeline, offering her a sense of connection and support from others who understood her struggles.
Therapy and hypnotherapy were also pivotal in helping her manage anxiety and PTSD, demonstrating that seeking professional help can be a game-changer in times of crisis. Listeners will find Anne's story both heart-wrenching and inspiring. It's a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is hope. Whether you're dealing with your own crises or simply looking for motivation to stay sober, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
Tune in to hear how Anne's love, courage, and commitment helped her weather the storm, and discover the power of community and professional support in maintaining sobriety.
