    EP 361: Positive Recovery with Corinna - Being the partner of a drinker.

    Being the partner of a drinker

    Come and join me, Corinna Alderton, as I talk to my friend of 48 years of her relationship with a drinker. In this frank and honest discussion you can hear the feelings and constraints of people in her position and the physical and emotional impact. It is also interesting to see the parallels in how a drinker feels and their significant others. The bonus for the drinker is, they are often numb to it all. I hope you will find this as insightful as I did. Keep focusing on controlling the things you can and not resisting the things you cannot Www.sobertownpodcast.com

    EP 354: Shana Epps Recovery Story
    Apr 11 2024

    Host: Drifter

    Guest: Shana Epps

    My name is Shana Epps and I am the CEO and founder of Controlled Chaos where I do sobriety and life coaching and host a podcast. I tried for almost two decades to get sober but kept relapsing. Even while working in the girls and trying to raise my daughters alone. I went through bad relationships, drug addiction, and alcoholism. I finally decided to move back to my home town and get my life together. The 12 steps are a huge part of my recovery but I also used the vivitrol shot. The vivitrol shot was a game changer for me. The last almost 3 years have been amazing and my goal from here on is just to help as many women as I can.
