07. Recovery as Self-Care: Ashley’s Story

Ashley and I met to chat about her battle with booze—including how it started and why she left drinking in our past. Her story reminds me a lot of some of my own experiences with alcohol. The way it creeps up on you, the self-loathing, the weird “gotta-drink-but-don’t-wanna” feeling… And how do you eleven get out of it once you realize it might be an issue? Does it always take crashing and burning to realize you need help? We can’t wait to have you hang out with us for this one! Episode Extras: Books by Thich Nhat Hanh, specifically The Miracle of Mindfulness (Ashley’s fave) and You Are Here (my fave) Author rec from Ashley: Anne Lamott  App rec from Ashley: iamsober Follow Ashley: YT: @potentializestudio IG: @potentializestudio Follow Jess: IG: @anotherfoolishmortal ======= Be a guest on Lights of Recovery!
