Getting sober can be challenging under the best of circumstances, but some cultures are so strongly alcogenic...that it's hard to find the support to build the kind of recovery community that really supports and nurtures life after alcohol.
Ever wondered how to stay sober in a culture where alcohol is everywhere? Brid McGill, a fitness professional and mother of two from Ireland, knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', hosted by Jean McCarthy, Brid opens up about her personal journey to sobriety in an alcogenic culture. Growing up, drinking was just a part of life for Brid, like it is for many in Ireland.
But when she became a mother, she knew she had to make a change. Despite the cultural pressures, Brid found her way to sobriety through online recovery groups and blogs. However, it wasn't until she attended a recovery conference in the United States that she truly felt connected to a community of like-minded individuals. Brid's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of real-life connections in recovery.
While online support can be helpful, there's nothing quite like face-to-face interactions with others who understand your journey. She also emphasizes the need for self-care and finding balance in life. Sobriety isn't just about quitting drinking; it's about building a life that supports your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. For anyone struggling with sobriety in a culture that glorifies alcohol, Brid's story offers hope and inspiration.
She shows us that it's never too late to break free from addiction and build a fulfilling, authentic life. Whether you're just starting your journey or have been in recovery for years, Brid's experience underscores the power of community, self-care, and the human spirit.
