Have a seat and grab your favorite sparkling water. It's Recovery Happy Hour, where we talk about life beyond the bottle and what happens after we get sober. I'm your

host Tricia. Thanks for joining me today. A big thank you to better help for sponsoring this

episode. Being on a recovery journey or just dealing with day-to-day life is a little easier when you have a therapist to talk to.

I've used better health and I love how easy it is to find a professional.

Whether it's trying to find out who you are without drinking or a different personal goal,

therapy can give you the tools to approach your life in a different way.

Finding a therapist can seem really overwhelming and better Help's mission is to make therapy more

affordable and accessible.

Better Help is completely online and after filling out a few questions, Better Help will match

you to a professional therapist in as little as a few days.

And if you're not a great fit for each other, which, hey, it happens,

you can easily switch to a new therapist at no additional cost, no stress about insurance,

who's in your network, or anything like that.

Go check it out by going to better help.com slash recovery hour, or click on the link in the show

notes. You're helping to support the podcast podcast but it also gets you 10% off your

first month better help so you can connect with the therapist and see if it's right for you.

Well, I've got another non-traditional episode this week where it's just you and me guys.

There's no interview. We'll be back on track next week there are four

amazing interviews lined up for the next four weeks but today it's just us

which is fitting because it's the week of Valentine's Day and there's a topic I've been putting off since

the inception of Recovery Happy Hour.
