Southern, Social, and Still Sober

Auteur(s): Emily Chandler
  • Résumé

  • The tea is sweet and the accent is thick...listen weekly to a southern girl unravel stories of pain, loss, strength, and overcoming all while being comforted in knowing you are not alone in your struggles and the power to take back control of your life is within reach; no matter the circumstance. The host, Emily Chandler, is a southerner through and through and has embraced her gifts of storytelling, sensitivity, and vulnerability to bring you a show filled with support, hope, and inspiration. Emily broke the cycle of generational addiction after many years of living in denial. Her unhealthy relationship with alcohol began to mirror that of family members she swore she would never allow to happen to her. Through the power of self awareness and an unknowing friend on social media, she began her transformation and new journey of sobriety.Emily lives in North Carolina, but her deep southern roots began to grow in Alabama. She has a passion for empowering women to live their best lives, become in tune with who they really are, and find solace in connection with like-minded individuals. She is celebrating over 3 1/2 years of sobriety and is looking forward to a lifetime of making memories and living to her full potential now that she has adopted her alcohol free lifestyle.

  • Deprived to Thriving: My First Year in Sobriety
    Mar 29 2022

    In this week's episode, Emily describes how her first year of sobriety felt. She details how her former way of thinking held her back in her first year and how her first AA meeting helped her relieve feelings of frustration, deprivation, and resentment.

    Here's what to listen for in this episode:

    -Her experience at her first sober holiday
    -Her opinion on why she struggled so much in her first year
    -How her old ways of trying to constantly be positive did more harm than good
    -Her experience at her first AA meeting and her "aha moments" that she took away from it

    I HIGHLY recommend grabbing the book, This Naked Mind, by Annie Grace. Her book is what helped me overcome that feeling of being deprived from alcohol.  I also linked a video from her Facebook page and a great article that better explains "toxic positivity" that I referenced in the episode.
