I’m so excited to have a guest on today, my friend Ashley. She has an extraordinary sobriety story. I think it helps people to hear other people’s stories so they’re like, “Hey, I’m not crazy.” And then, sometimes, you can pick up different tools or different things that work for different people.

I spend a lot of time answering TikTok questions, comments, and DMs, and everyone wants to know, “How’d you do this? How’d you do that? Did you do this? Did you do that?” So I can only speak from my own experience but I think it’s great to have a guest on because I haven’t had one for a while who can talk about their experience in sobriety.

Ashley tried everything to stop drinking: counseling, medication, and even detox. But going into AA really changed everything for her. She loves that we all have unique experiences; what works for one person doesn’t work for another. She talks about how she picked up tools, listened to people in meetings, and focused on real healing.

I’m a big fan of AA, but I know it can be hit or miss for some people. When you find the right group, though, it changes everything. You get support, real friends and a chance actually to work the steps. It’s a big deal for anyone who feels alone, confused, or afraid to reach out. It’s all about taking it one day at a time and realizing you can absolutely create a life free from alcohol.

Enjoy!
