346 Heather Shares Her Story of Parental Suicide, Childhood Abuse, and Healing in Sobriety

The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast

Can We End The Shame and Stigma of Addiction? Can we turn survival skills into healthy coping skills? Is it even really possible to heal from childhood trauma?

Today my guest Heather Zuchowski and I addressed all these questions, and it might sound weird, but we actually had a great time! Heather is smart, shes funny, and very talented in her work. I so appreciated her vulnerability and transparency as we talked about the hardest parts of her story as well. She really delivers on the solutions too, which I love.

Also, I have something fun to suggest to those brave souls who are listening right now. the response to the coaching calls has been so good, that I've decided to make them a regular part of the show!

Here's the deal, if you are struggling with an issue like a difficult family member, ending a relationship, a situation at work,& maybe you're struggling with letting go of a sponsor, procrastination, dealing with grief, whatever and you'd like to talk it through with me, we can record our conversation and publish it as an episode, and we can even do it anonymously.

So if you'd like support from me, and you'd be willing to be a guest to talk about your challenges, email me at [email protected]. I'll only be able to do a couple of these per month, so if you're interested, be sure to reach out as soon as you can.

Lastly, the paperback version of my book is out! In case you didn't know, it's called “The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics: Clearing up Common Misconceptions of a Path to Sobriety”. All I'm going to say is that if you haven't worked the steps yet, this guide will help you get all the benefits without all the drama. The 12 steps are a worthy endeavor. You have nothing to lose, and there's nothing to be afraid of. I love you, you are safe, I'm here to help. You can work with me on a 1:1 basis, just visit soberlifeschool.com to book a strategy call. I'll keep you safe and moving in the right direction.
