In the latest episode of 'Addiction Unlimited', Angela, a seasoned life coach and recovering alcoholic, shares her raw and honest experiences of navigating life post-alcohol.

From losing her job and financial security early in her sobriety to facing health scares and personal disappointments, she paints a vivid picture of what it truly means to thrive in sobriety. It's not about eliminating life's difficulties but learning to meet them with clarity and resilience. Angela shares personal anecdotes that illustrate how sobriety has transformed her approach to life's curveballs, allowing her to respond with strength rather than react impulsively.

From daily grounding check-ins to setting boundaries and establishing a simple recovery routine, she offers tools that can make sobriety sustainable. Her message is clear: sobriety is the foundation upon which you build a life you don't want to escape from. If you're seeking inspiration or guidance on your own sobriety journey, this episode is a must-listen.
Angela's candid approach and practical tips might just be the catalyst you need to embrace the real work of recovery.
