In this episode of the SoberQ podcast, T'Mara shares her deeply personal journey through step five of her recovery process.

For T'Mara, this was a soul-searching endeavour that brought unexpected feelings of grief and sadness.
Despite the promise of peace and ease outlined in recovery literature, T'Mara found herself overwhelmed with a sense of loss.

By sharing her journey, T'Mara offers hope and encouragement to those navigating their own path to sobriety. Her honesty and vulnerability are both refreshing and comforting, providing a beacon of light for anyone struggling with similar feelings. So why should you tune into this episode?
