The antidote to shame is truth. Through the power of story we share our truths.
Shame can be a powerful force, often keeping people trapped in the cycle of alcoholism. In this episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy tackles this heavy topic by speaking with women who are at the beginning of their sobriety journey. These women, despite having faced multiple 'Day Ones', bravely share their stories, showing that reaching out and being part of a community can be incredibly healing.
They aren't offering solutions or step-by-step guides; instead, they lay bare their experiences to offer hope and solidarity to others in similar situations. By confronting their shame and embracing the truth, they demonstrate that the only real mistake is not trying at all. This episode underscores the importance of community support, the struggles of accepting alcoholism, and the transformative power of personal storytelling.
It's a candid and heartfelt conversation that reminds us all that we are never alone in our journey toward recovery.
