Maybe it was too much coffee, but I was having such a good day that I was a little loose shall we say??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Anyway I really enjoyed this conversation with psychotherapist and recovery coach <strong>Eryl McCaffrey<\/strong>. We explore her journey of sobriety, the role of spirituality versus religion, building sustainable self-care practices, and practical tools to manage anxiety. Eryl shares what it was like growing up with an alcoholic parent, her own struggles with drinking, and the lessons she\u2019s carried into her work helping others heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The discussion highlights the paradox of sobriety (freedom and overwhelm), the importance of simple daily rituals, why community matters, and body-based practices that help regulate anxiety and stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you enjoy this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and share with a friend. Reviews are how we consistently rank in the top 1% and how you can help others to break free from addiction. Thank you so much for all your support!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
