The Joys of Recovery: Rediscovering Me

Celebrating 100 episodes in 2026! We show up in recovery to stop drinking. Right? Well, some of us actually are hoping we can learn how to drink like a lady. 🫤What I discovered is a completely new way of living. I talk so often about the hard parts of recovery and mental health, but today I’m celebrating what recovery and given back to me. I have deeper relationships, a tight family, purpose, self-respect, and opportunities to build a new powerful ME. I enjoy life without needing anything in my hand. I’m on a never-ending journey of self-discovery, and I get to love others and myself on a higher plane. I know how joy and hardship can exist at the same time.After my stroke, I realized that my sobriety program had prepared me to walk through the hardest season of my life and still smile. The same principles that helped me recover from alcoholism continue to guide me through disability, fear, grief, and acceptance today. Recovery gives me far more than freedom from alcohol. It gives me a life I never knew was possible.Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts:Rather listen on Apple Podcasts? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recovery-daily-podcast/id1693924779Visit my Recovery Upcycling Etsy shop! https://www.etsy.com/shop/RecoveryUpcycling
