My suggestion would be, when you're looking at how you are going to work your recovery, to base it around your own personality and what works for you, because I do think that, as individuals, we all have different ways of recovering and there's no wrong way.
Imagine growing up with a loving parent who also battles alcoholism. Celeste Yvonne knows this all too well. Her father, a 'high functioning' alcoholic, suffered a stroke in his early fifties. Determined to avoid the same fate, Celeste vowed never to let alcohol control her life. But reality hit hard when a panic attack landed her in the emergency room. That was her wake-up call to change her life and become a better mom by getting sober.
In this episode of 'Sober Nation FM', Celeste opens up about her journey to sobriety and the unique challenges she faces as a sober mom. She dives into the pressures of 'mommy wine culture', where society often normalizes drinking as a way to cope with the stresses of motherhood. Celeste debunks this harmful myth, sharing how she held herself accountable and found support through therapy and personal connections.
Celeste also touches on the misconceptions surrounding Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and how she navigated finding the right support system for her. Her story is not just about quitting alcohol but about reclaiming her life and setting an example for her children. Now over two years sober, Celeste is writing a book about her experiences and continues to inspire other moms through her Ultimate Mom Challenge.
Whether you're a parent dealing with similar struggles or someone looking for motivation to stay sober, Celeste's story offers hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear her candid discussion on breaking free from the clutches of alcohol and redefining what it means to be a strong, sober mom.
