I basically forced myself to enjoy the taste of all of these drinks over the years, and then I would think that I was a connoisseur, like I would get some bourbon to be like: oh yeah, this is a very good buffalo trace, when in reality it tastes like crap.
Imagine finding yourself in the grip of addiction, not surrounded by friends, but alone. That's the story Kerrie Mac shares in this episode of 'Recovery Rising'. Host Brian Adkins sits down with Kerrie, a key member and administrator of the Recovery Elevator podcast and Cafe RE communities. Unlike many others, Kerrie's drinking was a solitary affair, a stark contrast to the social scenes often depicted. But her journey didn't end there.
Through recovery, she has transformed into an outgoing and cherished member of her community. Kerrie opens up about how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) played crucial roles in her recovery. She also discusses the unique challenges and unexpected silver linings that the pandemic brought to her journey. The Bozeman retreat stands out as a pivotal moment for Kerrie, highlighting the profound impact of supportive communities on the road to sobriety.
Brian Adkins guides the conversation with his signature blend of empathy and humor, making Kerrie's story not just a tale of struggle, but one of hope and transformation. He underscores the importance of letting go of the past and embracing the future with a sense of freedom. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Kerrie's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that community support can make all the difference.
