My message is: don't give up because you don't know. I've been there and I'm just so grateful that they have the courage to stand up and say: maybe you know my journey can help you. And when I face it, I take back a little dignity.
Relapse is a word that can send shivers down anyone's spine on the journey to sobriety. But what if it didn’t have to be the end of the road? In this heartfelt episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy dives into the emotional rollercoaster that follows a relapse and how it can actually become a stepping stone to a stronger, more authentic sober life.
Joined by guests who bravely share their own stories of stumbling and getting back up, Jean unpacks the heavy feelings of shame and self-blame that often accompany a relapse. The conversation is raw and real, touching on everything from the dreaded 'witching hour' to the overwhelming sense of isolation that can creep in. But it’s not all gloom and doom. The episode is peppered with moments of hope and practical advice.
Jean and her guests discuss the importance of self-reflection, honesty, and building a solid support system. They offer insights into how to transform a setback into a powerful lesson, emphasizing that relapse is not a failure but rather a part of the recovery process. Whether you’ve experienced a relapse yourself or are supporting someone who has, this episode offers a comforting reminder that it's never too late to start over.
Tune in for an honest, supportive, and ultimately uplifting discussion that will leave you feeling less alone and more empowered on your journey to sobriety.
