Looking for a new listen that combines the serious with the fun? One that offers REAL stories of hard life shit with educational information? Look no further than SHARING OUT LOUD, a podcast hosted by a sober woman who got tired of staying silent about her alcoholism and sobriety, and frankly, everything else in life. A woman who spent so much of her life being told she was "too much," "too aggressive," "too loud," and "polarizing," that she never allowed herself to be 100% true to who she was, until now. She decided it was time to start SHARING OUT LOUD, and when she did everything changed.
Totally authentic, the SHARING OUT LOUD podcast will feature a wide range of guests from sober women, to health and fitness, to the world of energy healing, post-partum depression, women and toxic positivity, and who knows what else! Take a listen, you won't be disappointed!
SHARING OUT LOUD
Cheating death. A truly inspirational sober story.
This is one of the most beautiful, heart-wrenching, and sometimes unbelievable sober story I have ever heard. Thank you Erica, aka, sober.for.the.health.of.it, for your vulnerability, your honesty, your openness, so that someone out there might be spared from this dreaded disease of alcoholism.
I needed a drink when I didn't have what I needed.
It has been a long road to get to where I am. It took years for me to be open and honest about my recovery. Years for me to let people see what I was hiding for so long. I was ordering diet cokes and being told that that shit would kill me. 🤣 Little did they know. I was removing myself from conversations when it turned towards alcohol. I tried not to scream and rip my hair out when someone would talk about people who struggle with addiction and/or mental health. I cowered and shrank into my comfort zone, full of shame and hurt. I felt like a fraud.
I was sober, but I still didn't have what I needed. At a little over 3 years, I was coming close to letting it all go. I was working as much as I could, filling my time with busyness, hoping everything would just work out.
I didn't have a community. I didn't have friends I could share my story with. I was lucky I had a supportive family, but I needed someone who related. When I created this account, I didn't know what to expect. I never thought I'd connect with so many amazing people that I could relate to so much. It's a freeing feeling when you can talk about some of the crazy shit you did and laugh with someone because they did it, too. I began to find acceptance, and I was learning how to love myself.
It's true when they say, "Connection is the opposite of addiction." Being part of a community has changed my life. If you're struggling to find yours, please reach out. There are so many amazing people wanting to connect❤️
