Carol and Jessica talk about dealing with grief and early sobriety together. Carol talks about choosing one-on-one therapy as her main source of healing from addiction, and working on childhood trauma as a recovering adult.
She shares the real-life tools that helped her get through her first year sober, and lists off tons of resources for our listeners, including movies, books, podcasts, and blogs. She also gives newly sober people a reason to redecorate (hint: it's all about creating new spaces, literally and figuratively). See below show notes for all of the great resources Carol mentions.
