38: Smart Sobriety and Other Useful Tools with Rachel Bowling
Happy Holiday Season Fam!
With it being the season of celebration I really wanted to make sure that there was a conversation had around alcohol and substances. So today I am joined by Rachel Bowling who is SO educated on this topic, she is a substance use disorder counselor, a coach, a writer, and a military veteran.
Today we are talking about substance abuse, being sober, properly taking care of yourself through the holidays. As we all know the holidays stir up a lot of things within all of us and sometimes we fall into unhealthy coping mechanisms because they are what feels safe to us. When in reality those coping habits are pulling us away from being our best selves, and retracting any growth we may have accomplished recently.
If this hits home I hope that you know you are not alone and if you need to please reach out to a professional.
