The Vibrant Journey of Sobriety with Calamity Tash
My habit now of no tash, I stop, I reevaluate, I say it out loud, and oftentimes I'm right, yeah, and when things are showing up, it's really important to be able to tune in to that inner child and realize what they would have needed at the time.
Imagine waking up each day with a wine glass in hand, struggling to remember the night before. This was the reality for Calamity Tash, who began her mornings with alcohol and continued drinking throughout the day. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr sits down with Tash to explore her tumultuous relationship with alcohol and her inspiring path to sobriety.
