The people I've met in this recovery community are amazing people, and I was talking to someone, and I don't know the scientific data, but they were comparing an addict brain to someone. You know- you can take our word for it- that it gets a whole lot better.
Picture this: growing up with divorced parents, one who drinks heavily and one who doesn't touch a drop. This was Kristin S.'s reality, and despite witnessing the toll of alcoholism, she found herself struggling with her own drinking in her early 20s. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', Kristin opens up about her journey from the chaos of addiction to the peace of sobriety.
Kristin's story is one many can relate to—periods of abstinence followed by relapses that left her feeling defeated. But what makes her story stand out is her discovery of the 'sobriety bubble'. This isn't just a concept; it's a lifeline. By surrounding herself with people and activities that bring joy, laughter, and comfort, Kristin has built a protective barrier against triggers and temptations.
Through online communities like 'The Bubble Hour' and local support groups, Kristin found a network of people who understood her struggles. She learned to take sobriety one step at a time, sometimes breaking it down to just an hour at a time. Her story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of being kind to oneself during recovery.
In this episode, Kristin and host Jean McCarthy discuss the ups and downs of sobriety, the importance of self-reflection, and the joy that can be found in a sober life. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for years, Kristin's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear how embracing the 'sobriety bubble' has transformed Kristin's life and how it can do the same for you.
