Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of suicide attempts and may be sensitive for some listeners.

In this episode, I sit down with the creator of Alcoholic Princess Diaries, Veronica. We dive into one of the biggest questions in sobriety. Is alcoholism a disease or not? And how that belief shapes shame, responsibility, and self-forgiveness.

This conversation covers early sobriety, letting go of the drinking identity, and how to deal with shame around past choices made while drinking. We talk about growth without self-punishment and what becoming your best self actually looks like when alcohol is no longer part of the picture.

If you’re sober curious, alcohol-free, or questioning your relationship with drinking, this episode offers honest insight, humor, and relatable recovery insight.
