“If you practice being grateful and help others, you help yourself.”
Ever thought retirement would be the perfect time to unwind? For Ella, it was anything but. As she transitioned into this new phase of life, her drinking habits shifted dramatically, leading her down a path of addiction. In this heartfelt episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy reads a letter from Ella, who candidly shares her journey from a seemingly 'normal' life to battling alcoholism.
Ella's story is one of resilience, as she navigates the tumultuous waters of addiction triggered by menopause. She credits podcasts and her involvement in AA for playing crucial roles in her recovery. But Ella didn’t stop there; she expanded her horizons beyond traditional programs to find a broader sense of community and purpose. Gratitude and helping others became cornerstones of her sober life.
If you're looking for a story that combines vulnerability with the power of community, Ella's letter is a must-listen. It’s a touching reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s always a way to find light and support.
