Shame, Addiction, and the Hidden Barrier to Getting Sober

from What that drink cost me · host A Tad Better Coaching

If getting sober were just about willpower, most of us would already be there. In this episode, I talk about shame — the invisible weight that keeps so many people stuck in addiction. We unpack how shame differs from guilt, why it fuels secrecy and self-sabotage, and how it can turn sobriety into something to endure instead of something that brings relief. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or exhausted by trying to get sober “the right way.”Book a call with me here: https://calendly.com/thopp84/30minFollow me on Instagram and TikTok: @magicaltadrigal
