“Drink Shrinks. Yeah. She also works with me in the moderation program. And we just have a lot of the same ideas and philosophy. And she's just so funny. And we thought there should be something out there where people are discussing moderation and how to do that and what are the mindsets around that with some longevity and some levity, I guess I should say, some levity in there so that we're kind of, you know, we can thumb our nose or, you know, tongue in cheek sort of things.”
Ever wondered how a career in veterinary medicine could lead to a profound impact on alcohol and drug counseling? Michele Perron PhD’s story is nothing short of remarkable. Michele's journey began in the world of veterinary medicine, but life had other plans. After a challenging marriage and a personal battle with alcoholism, she found herself at rock bottom. However, this low point became the catalyst for her transformation into a renowned alcohol and drug counselor.
In this episode, Michele sits down with Matt Gardiner to discuss her unique approach to recovery, particularly through the lens of the Sinclair Method. This method focuses on moderation rather than complete abstinence, which might be a refreshing perspective for those struggling with traditional recovery models. Michele's insights are deeply rooted in her diverse career experiences and personal struggles, making her advice both practical and empathetic.
Michele also touches on the psychological aspects of addiction, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying issues rather than just the symptoms. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of finding one's true calling, even after hitting rock bottom. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Michele’s experiences offer valuable lessons and hope for a fulfilling life beyond addiction.
Tune in to hear how Michele's past has shaped her present and how her innovative methods could help you or someone you love find a path to recovery.
