This week, I share a deeply personal story about loss, love, and the courage to stay alcohol-free through grief.
After saying goodbye to my beloved dog of sixteen years, I found myself reflecting on how differently I face pain now compared to my drinking days.
In this episode, I explore the emotional landscape of grief, from denial to acceptance, and how tools like the Serenity Prayer, connection, and self-compassion can guide us through it.
It’s an honest conversation about vulnerability, resilience, and why clarity - not alcohol - is what truly helps us heal.
