Motherhood and Sobriety: Honest Stories from The Bubble Hour

Today I am sober and for that I am forever grateful. No arrests, no ultimatum, no embarrassing moments of being woken up by sprinklers in the front yard and nothing but a thong as children walk to school.
Motherhood is a journey filled with joys and challenges, but what happens when the path to sobriety intersects with the responsibilities of being a mom? In this heartfelt episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy introduces us to Amanda and Ellie, who read powerful words penned by mothers at various stages of their sobriety journey. These brave women open up about how becoming a mother influenced their drinking habits and their path to sobriety.
They talk candidly about the guilt and shame that often accompany their struggles, as well as the unique stigma faced by sober moms. But it’s not all heavy; they also share the incredible gifts that sobriety has brought into their lives, like being fully present for their children and discovering new ways to find joy and manage stress. This episode offers a comforting reminder that no one is alone in this journey.
If you're a mother grappling with alcohol or know someone who is, these stories might just be the lifeline you need.
