I like to say I want to help people get to the point where alcohol is a moot substance, where it's just something that doesn't matter.
Imagine navigating the tumultuous waters of addiction while balancing motherhood and a pending divorce. In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Chris Scott sits down with Rachael Shephard, the founder of Sober Mama, to explore her remarkable journey to sobriety. Rachael opens up about her years of heavy drinking, the challenges of British drinking culture, and how she managed life as a single mother of two young boys. But her story doesn't end there; it’s a tale of transformation and resilience.
Rachael shares how she designed The Freedom Programme, a recovery coaching initiative aimed at helping other mothers break free from alcohol dependence. She emphasizes the importance of journaling, managing sugar intake, and staying productive during early sobriety. Creative hobbies and reading also play a significant role in her mental health strategy. One of the standout moments in the conversation is when Rachael debunks the myth of the 'addictive personality'.
She argues that personalized recovery coaching and support are crucial for overcoming addiction. Supplementation strategies also come into play, offering practical tools to aid in the recovery process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration and practical advice on their journey to sobriety. Rachael’s story is a testament to the power of determination and the impact of tailored recovery programs.
Whether you're in the throes of addiction or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable insights and encouragement here.
