I'm constantly striving to be me at my best and I feel like I fall short a lot of the time from being the parent that I want to be, and I don't know a parent that I can name that hasn't told me they feel the same.
How do you juggle the demands of parenting while staying committed to your sobriety? In this episode of Sober Cast, Alicia, Gino, and Michelle open up about their personal journeys navigating these challenges within the young people's AA community. Recorded at the 53rd ICYPAA YPAA convention in San Francisco, their stories are both raw and inspiring. Alicia shares how open communication with her daughter has been a cornerstone of her recovery, emphasizing the delicate balance between sobriety and parenting.
Gino recounts his path to sobriety and how it has reshaped his relationship with his son. Michelle reflects on her struggles to be present in her daughter's life during her drinking days and the ongoing effort to rebuild that bond. The trio acknowledges that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to parenting in sobriety. However, they all agree on one thing: staying active in the AA community is crucial for being the best parent they can be.
Their stories highlight the importance of support, community, and the continuous journey of recovery. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the trials and triumphs of parenting while maintaining sobriety. It's a must-listen for anyone who is balancing family life with their recovery journey or supporting someone who is.
