Beyond the Binge: Conversations on Life, Loss & Recovery

from The Sober New Yorker · host Melissa McGovern

Colleen ___ is a commercial fisherwoman of more than 30 years, a writer, and a woman who rebuilt herself from the deepest kind of loss. After losing her husband to alcohol-related suicide and battling decades of binge drinking herself, Colleen chose a new path — one of clarity, sobriety, self-respect, and truth. Now over four and a half years sober, she’s writing her debut book, Life Beyond the Binge, a raw and hopeful story about surviving addiction, grief, the sea, and herself.Stay up to date on Colleen:Freebie on her website!https://purepotential.health/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/public-profile/settings?trk=d_flagship3_profile_self_view_public_profile&lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base%3BzoknbUMkRVOt%2BnSyAAGQOw%3D%3DFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Pure-Potential-Health/61567862578775/For more info on my group coaching "Happier Hour" please email me: [email protected]
