That Time I Got Sober On Accident: 5 Lessons Learned From 5 Years Sober

In January, I celebrated 5 years sober. (HUMBLE BRAG). Which, is truly, MIND BOGGLING to me. The layers I have shed, the shit I have let go of, the people who have left my life is unlike anything I could have imaged. Not to mention all the things I have gained, created and folks who have joined me on my journey - unreal. In this episode, I don't so much share about "how" I got sober - for the story of my "rock bottom" and what living in a house with your ex for 50 days will really do to a gal, I recommend listening to episode 1 and 2 of this podcast. You're welcome. LOLZ. Today, I'm sharing about the pain that has lead to my expansion during these five years that I have chosen not to drink. I explore what drinking represents in our society and why sometimes our over consumption - while it is our responsibility - isn't our shame alone to carry. We're all participating in the culture of drinking. I walk us through what life looks and feels like from the other side of this life altering experience as well as the top 5 lessons learned from 5 years sober. This is ride this one. What a ride!
