Jardine Libaire: Crafting a Rich Life Without Alcohol
I think we're often really shy and weird, and so we drink to make up for it, and that's why so many artists or writers end up being...where they probably should be sober.
Imagine navigating two decades of heavy drinking and drug use, only to emerge with a renewed zest for life. That's exactly what novelist and screenwriter Jardine Libaire has done. In this episode of Sober Nation FM, hosted by Jonathan Sylvester, Jardine opens up about her winding road to sobriety. She shares how she flirted with sobriety in the past but never fully committed until she found the right support system and entered an intensive outpatient program.
Now, with over seven years of sobriety under her belt, Jardine co-authored 'The Sober Lush: A Hedonist's Guide to Living a Decadent, Adventurous, Soulful Life–Alcohol Free'. In her candid chat with Jonathan, Jardine discusses the fine line between partying and addiction, the significance of a strong support network, and how she has embraced vulnerability and creativity in her sober life. They also delve into the joys of traveling sober and the hurdles faced during early recovery.
Jardine's story is a testament to the fact that life without alcohol can be both rich and fulfilling. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and pick up some valuable insights on living your best life, alcohol-free.
