Podcast Host Julie Miller: Building a Life Beyond Alcohol

Welcome back, everyone! Today I sat down with Julie Miller, RCP (Recovery Coach Professional) and co-host of Through the Glass Recovery, for an authentic conversation about the journey through sobriety and self-discovery. In this discussion, Julie opens up about her personal battle with alcoholism and her transformative path to recovery. We explore how finding genuine connections and embracing vulnerability became cornerstones of her healing process. Julie's story reminds us that recovery isn't just about stopping drinking—it's about discovering who we truly are and learning to love ourselves authentically. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction to Julie Miller and Her Journey 02:51 The Power of Group Conversations in Recovery 05:30 Julie’s Personal Story: From Perfection to Addiction 10:39 Coping Mechanisms: Learning to Live Without Alcohol 16:00 The Turning Point: Finding Community and Support 21:20 Embracing Self-Love and Acceptance After Sobriety 24:45 From Self-Loathing to Self-Love 25:47 The Link Between ADHD and Alcoholism 26:17 Building Connections in Recovery 28:02 The Importance of Authenticity 29:42 Navigating Recovery Without AA 31:08 The Impact of Addiction on Family Relationships 33:48 Talking Openly About Alcohol with Kids 34:42 The Shift in Youth Drinking Trends 36:30 Teaching Emotional Resilience to Youth 39:02 Finding Joy in Sobriety 41:37 The Journey to Self-Discovery 45:50 Vulnerability as the Antidote to Shame 📱Follow Julie! https://www.instagram.com/throughtheglassrecovery/ https://www.instagram.com/create.a.life.so.full/ https://throughtheglassrecovery.com/ 📱And if you haven't yet, follow TheWillpowerPodcast on Instagram where I post daily https://www.instagram.com/thewillpowerpodcast/ 💙 Love the podcast?
