S2;E36 Tanya: Through the discomfort , we feel the joy.

Are you wanting sobriety or constantly relapsing? Whatever the reason, and where ever you are at, you have landed in the right place. I created this podcast out of the desire to share about my success story and how I stay sober to give you hope. This podcast also has guests who are experiencing long term sobriety and are happy. My name is Sarah and after 25 years of alcoholic drinking, I am so grateful to have been relieved of the obsession to drink and freed from the bondage of self. Sobriety doesn't have to be a struggle or hard! Long-term sobriety doesn't have to be a battle or difficult
