In this episode of the HOME Podcast, Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker dive into a reader's heartfelt question about the daunting idea of staying sober forever. They tackle the tricky balance between willpower and finding personal strategies that actually work. It's not just about saying 'no' to a drink; it's about understanding the deeper emotional freedom that comes with breaking free from addiction.
Laura and Holly share their candid thoughts on the subject, making it clear that there's no one-size-fits-all answer. They also touch on the role of reading as a powerful tool for personal growth and reflect on the challenges posed by a flawed healthcare system. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice in a relatable, down-to-earth style.
