Ep 62: Carly Benson on Purpose; The Power of Miracles and Not Enoughness

Welcome to Episode # 62 of The Alcohol & Addiction Podcast and my guest Carly Benson As an avid traveller, yogi & confessed self-help junkie, Carly Benson writes about her adventures in life & sobriety on Miracles Are Brewing where she offers inspirational concepts for enlightenment, spirituality & embracing epicness. She's been sober from cocaine and alcohol since August 17, 2008, and has found her passion working as an ambassador for sobriety by sharing her experiences of living life above the influence in her writing and speaking. She currently offers one-on-one sobriety coaching and is working on publishing an ebook as well as a self-help book along with creating her first sober retreat in 2017. When she’s not writing or geeking out on the Internet, you can find her sipping tea, hiking mountains, catching a flight, reading a book or dancing to deep house music, which often may be a dance party of one in her living room.

Before you go, do you want to join me in the trenches and learn what life is like in the middle of an addiction story? I'm not talking about the part when you are drunk out of your skull and can't remember anything. I'm talking about what comes after you quit. How do you fill the white space? How do you find a new community? How do you find meaning and purpose? If these questions interest you, then buy my new book Needy Helper 2015 Diary Excerpts: A Life After Alcohol - amzn.to/2axGveg Talking about community, how would you like to become a member of the Needy Helper Hub? It's a new idea to create a connected community, with support and a continual personal improvement process forever. It's my intention to be online as much as I can to answer any questions you have about your addiction and to continually update the Hub with training tools, tips and techniques to help you create a whole new life.
