36. Intentionally Sober With Ariel Sweetland
In a culture that’s nearly obsessed with alcohol, it’s no wonder so many folks find themselves tied to consuming it in social situations, at the end of a hard day, or against their own will and better judgment. In this episode, we sit down with Ariel Sweetland to discuss how she’s now living intentionally sober. We cover her “on again, off again” relationship with alcohol, her experience with AA, how she recognized her own trauma and anger residing in her subconscious, how she began to take accountability and became more intentional in everything she does, and ultimately how radical self-love paved a path to self-healing.
We’re so grateful for Ariel being so candid with us and for sharing her story in hopes that it may illuminate the path for others who are searching for it.
