E31: Morgan Got Sober Shamed

Send us Fan MailMatt J has been diving into the world of Sober Instagram and where some other social media sites are cesspools, <cough!> <cough!> <TWITTER!>, The sober society on Instagram seems to be something totally different.  It is a place where you can find positive and inspirational messages of sobriety.  Matt found Morgan at https://www.instagram.com/single.40.sober.surviving/ and found a post about how she was "Sober Shamed" by a friend and how hurtful it was.  Morgan has been sober for years, but did not find 12 step groups to be her path to recovery.  She has focused on staying sober by surrounding herself with likeminded people, therapy and the positivity on Instagram.  Matt found recovery a different way and also believes that no one path has a monopoly on recovery.  In this show, Morgan talks about how she drank in secret and how she came from a long line of alcoholics.  She discusses the support her late father provided, what caused her to leave AA and how live has improved.  If Morgan can help one person, she feels her talk is worth it.Support the show📫 Get more honest conversations about sobriety delivered to your inbox!
