In this episode, we get into an inspiring alternative approach to achieving wellness, stability, and sobriety with special guest Carol Ann Ferguson, #booksoverbooze Founder and Mother in recovery who found a way out of the choking grasp of shame through avid reading of others' recovery stories. After struggling for a dozen years to maintain sobriety, Carol Ann literally went from "Bottles to Bookmarks" by releasing shame-based emotions over lengths of time exposing herself to others' written shared struggles.

Today she inspires others to achieve wellness and sobriety by openly sharing about her struggles, lessons learned, as well as life-style tips to overcome alcohol addiction one book, one page, one human connection at a time. This week's episode represents how courageous, honest, open story-telling has the power to break down walls to human connection and quell shame for those suffering alone in the dark.
