Death Clock

Author Laura McKowen on Recovery from Addiction


Listen Later

Imagine being blackout drunk at your brother’s wedding and leaving your young daughter alone in the hotel room. That was the moment when Laura McKowen, author of the unflinching, honest and tender memoir, We Are the Luckiest, recognized her drinking would take everything from her if she let it. But as she points out, we all numb ourselves in different ways and life is about learning to be real, to feel.

 

Laura joins Brent Franson and The Most Days Show to explore her journey to sobriety and the lessons she’s learned along the way. From framing sobriety as the creation of a new life that must be sweetly nurtured and fiercely protected to candid stories of how she was supported in unexpected ways, Laura’s story is truly something to hear. Practical advice to support your own sobriety—or a loved one’s—is shared in abundance.

 

Join us to be inspired by one woman’s strength—and to take away lessons of grace and determination that can apply to your own journey to change your life, whatever that change might look like. This fast-paced, honest, raw conversation will stick with you. You can find out more about Laura and the work she's doing at lauramckowen.com.
