In recovery, the most important ingredient to long-term sobriety is community and connection.
What happens when the pain of your past becomes the fuel for your future? In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto chats with Claire Rudy Foster, a writer who has walked the tumultuous path from addiction to sobriety. Growing up closeted and bullied, Claire turned to alcohol and heroin, believing it was part of the 'tortured artist' persona. But this lifestyle left him too high or hungover to write a single word.
It wasn't until 2007 that Claire found recovery, only to realize that getting clean was just the beginning. He had to confront his anger and identity issues head-on to achieve true happiness. Now, Claire is not only sober but also a celebrated author who proves that creativity doesn't need a crutch. Tune in to hear Claire discuss the vital role of community and connection in recovery, the journey to emotional sobriety, and his experiences with hormone therapy.
This episode is a raw, inspiring look at what it takes to reclaim your life and your dreams.
