It's season three of Recovery Happy hour where we talk about life beyond the

bottle and what happens after we get sober I'm your host Tricia and after

spending the 4th of July out in the sun all day, I'm just a different shade of white.

A big thank you to Better Help for sponsoring this episode.

I can't imagine being on a recovery journey or just dealing with life in general without a therapist. I've used better help

personally and I love how easy it is to find a professional to talk to. Whether it's

trying to figure out who you are without alcohol 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 at first, I get it, but Better Help's mission is to make therapy more affordable and accessible.

Better Help is completely online and by filling out a few questions they can match you to a

professional therapist in as little as a few days.

And if you're not a great fit for each other,

you can easily switch to a new therapist,

no additional cost, and no stress about insurance

or who's in your network or anything like that. So go check it out.

You'll help support the podcast but it also gets you 10% off your first month of better help so you can connect with

a therapist and see if it's right for you. That's better help H E L P.com
