The Power of Labels: How 'Alcoholic' Shapes Our Sober Journey

I don't talk about being an alcoholic anymore. It's the custom in AA meetings to do that. But I choose to claim all of the labels and not restrict myself by something that keeps me focused on the most unhealthy stage I had in my life.
Ever thought about how a simple label can shape your entire journey? In this episode of the Sober Sisters Society Podcast, Nicole and Tammie take a deep dive into the word 'alcoholic' and its impact on sobriety. They start with a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about their high school days when labels meant everything from social status to personal identity.
But now, as they navigate life without alcohol, the sisters explore how the 'alcoholic' label can be both a burden and a badge of honor. This episode isn't just about definitions; it's about reclaiming who you are and owning your story. Nicole and Tammie also touch on the controversy surrounding the spectrum concept in alcoholism and the role of AA in shaping these labels.
They highlight the importance of intention, focusing on positive energy, and spreading kindness in the sober community. If you've ever struggled with the weight of labels or wondered how they fit into your recovery, this conversation is for you. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that promises to make you think and maybe even laugh along the way.
