35. When Sobriety Feels Hard, Stay in the Struggle | Why the Uncomfortable Work Leads to the Greatest Growth

In this episode of The Shannon McCabe Show, I’m sharing a precious insight from my morning devotional that deeply connects to the journey of quitting drinking and honestly, to any season of growth that feels hard.

So often, we see our struggles as roadblocks. But what if they’re actually refining us? What if the discomfort, the cravings, the doubts, and the messy in-between moments are the very things shaping you into the peaceful, confident, free version of yourself that you’re becoming?

In this heartfelt conversation, I’ll walk you through: 💛 How to reframe challenges as the tools that build your strength and character 🌱 Why the “hard days” in sobriety are often the ones that grow you the most 🙏 What my morning devotional reminded me about perseverance and faith ✨ The importance of showing up for the work even when it’s uncomfortable ⚡ How to start embracing the process instead of resisting it

I also share how my Alcohol-Free Blueprint program helps women navigate this exact transformation. In this program I am teaching you how to shift your mindset, reclaim your energy, and build a sustainable, joy-filled alcohol-free life.

If you’ve been feeling like the work is too hard or wondering if it’s worth it - I hope this is the reminder your heart needs. The hard stuff isn’t punishment; it’s preparation for your next chapter.
