Linda's Path to Sobriety: A Journey of Hope and Resilience

Anything bad that's ever happened in my life has been alcohol-related, and it's not anything that anybody's ever done to me or bad luck.
What happens when you decide to change your life alongside your partner? Linda knows this story all too well. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy sits down with Linda, a woman who has been in long-term recovery from alcohol addiction since 2011. Together with her husband, Linda made the brave decision to quit drinking, and they have supported each other ever since.
Linda doesn't shy away from sharing the darker moments of her past, describing how alcohol led her to places she’d rather forget. But her story is not just about the struggles; it’s about the triumphs that come with sobriety. She talks about the importance of staying accountable and how counting her sober days was both a motivator and a source of shame when she relapsed.
Through her journey, Linda learned that struggling is part of the process and that supporting others without judgment is crucial. The conversation also touches on spirituality and its role in recovery. Linda and Jean discuss how finding what works for you spiritually can be a game-changer in maintaining sobriety. Linda even hints at her future plans to become a recovery coach, inspired by her own experiences and the support she received along the way.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, hope, and the power of community in recovery. Linda’s candidness offers a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, showing that it's possible to rebuild your life with the right support and mindset.
