Sober Edge

One Brave Step with Allison Barber


Listen Later

Sometimes, everything falls apart. We can be fraying at the edges for a long time, using alcohol as the 'duct tape' to hold everything together and one day, it's not enough.

My guest on the podcast today, Allison Barber, shares her story, which includes a debilitating injury, a crumbling marriage and a rocky relationship happening all at once. To find her way out, Allison chose one brave step. From this place, she began the work of healing from 'the inside out'. And today, she shares her message with others who are struggling with taking that first step toward healing.

Highlights from this episode:

  • When your world gets smaller
  • Our value is not tied to our struggles or our choices
  • The freedom of choosing NOT to drink
  • To stop drinking entirely was never the goal
  • The decision to take 100% responsibility for self
  • The pain of conflicting values
  • Letting go of control
  • No better time than midlife to stop drinking
