"Like I was drowning myself in alcohol and cause how much, like you can't get more literal than that kind of dream. And fortunately, like I was able to really pay attention to it and think about it and not just push it aside and be consumed with how I was having a hangover, which I was, that was the way my life was for like the last 18 months of my active addiction."

We have Sarah from the "Sober Gratitude" Podcast on the show today to share her story and how she has overcome so many obstacles in life to get to where she is. She is such a courageous woman, and very empowering to say the least. She is here building a safe sober community, Sarah's mission is to inspire, encourage and support those who desire a satisfying sober life. She has dedicated herself to developing a podcast for others to learn about how a better life is absolutely possible on the other side of addiction. She does this by sharing about her experience as well as recovery stories of former addicts and alcoholics.

Sobriety has given her an amazing life- a life she never thought possible. She is no longer secretly trapped in a cage of toxic living, filled with fear, self-pity, insecurities and resentments. Now, her life is filled with joy, peace, serenity & freedom. She is grateful she gets the opportunity to show others the incredible life they can have in sobriety through her podcast.
