You're listening to the Recovery Happy Hour Podcast. Let's it in a hard play!

Hi guys!

Hi guys, welcome to episode zero of Recovery Happy Hour. I'm your host Tricia. So here we are another

recovery podcast. I mean I love these things without hearing other people talk about alcohol addiction.

I would have never stopped drinking in November of 2016.

Those stories made me realize that I'm not alone in this sometimes confusing and very insidious

disease.

I started creating Recovery Happy Hour because other friends of mine in the recovery community kept asking you to.

Okay actually that's not true. They asked me to write a book and frankly I'm just not

interested in all of the effort that goes into that. But I do love to talk to people and I relate to

a lot of their stories. And sometimes I say smart things and other times I make people

laugh so why not put it into a microphone and then blast it out in the world where you can all

listen to me? I mean who knows? Maybe no one will listen to me. Maybe there's so many recovery

podcasts that mine will sink to the bottom without a single download.

But I'm doing this podcast because we are missing something.

I love to hear people's stories of how they gave up alcohol, but I'm more interested in what happened after they got sober.

What lies beyond the bottle?

What happened that we were so afraid of missing out on?

Did the fear of missing out ever turn into the joy of missing out?

Oftentimes the things we do when we were in recovery are so far and above and beyond what we thought we do.

Sometimes we dig so deep into ourselves

that we find something truly beautiful.
