Brief Summary of Show
Braunwyn Windham-Burke joins us on the podcast for our very first guest interview, and we couldn’t think of a better person to have a conversation with about sobriety.
It’s no secret that Braunwyn has struggled with alcohol abuse over the years. In this episode, we talk about both Sandy and Braunwyn’s journey through recovery, how to support a loved one in recovery, and the gifts sobriety has brought.
Staying sober is a daily, conscious choice, and one that is made with commitment and intention. We talk about how the steps in Alcoholics Anonymous can be applied to both recovery and life in general.
