Love Life Sober, with Christy Osborne (S12E10)
In this episode, Dr. Lee Warren sits down with Christy Osborne, sobriety coach and author of Love Life Sober. Christy recounts her transformative journey through grief, addiction, and healing, offering listeners a raw and hopeful narrative. After the loss of her mother, Christy turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, which led her to a turning point in 2020. She shares her insights into the societal pressures around drinking, the neuroscience of addiction, and the importance of addressing the root causes of alcohol dependency.
Christy introduces her "40-Day Alcohol Fast," a grace-filled, judgment-free approach to exploring sobriety, and emphasizes the transformative power of faith in the recovery process. The conversation delves into challenges like social pressures, marriage dynamics, and the "friendship shuffle" that often accompanies sobriety. Christy’s message is one of hope, encouraging listeners to find authentic joy and connection beyond alcohol.
