Amy Dresner on Recovery During COVID-19: Finding Hope in Tough Times

I don't know that I'd get sober during this time. I might just be like I'm on drink through this, but at the same time it's a great time.
Imagine trying to stay sober during a global pandemic. That's exactly what Amy Dresner, author of 'My Fair Junkie', faced, and she’s here to share her story with Jay Casale on 'The Lighter Side'. Amy, known for her raw honesty and humor, dives into the unique struggles of addiction recovery during COVID-19. She talks about the increased stress and anxiety many have felt, the difficulty of finding support while social distancing, and the temptation to relapse.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Amy brings a refreshing perspective on finding hope and support in unexpected places. Audiobooks, for instance, have been a lifeline for her and she recommends them as a powerful tool for those in recovery. Her conversation with Jay is both enlightening and encouraging, offering practical advice and heartfelt encouragement. If you’re looking for a candid discussion about addiction, mental health, and finding light in dark times, this episode is a must-listen.
