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.   Braunwyn Windham-Burke is the mother of seven children and television personality who you may recognize from The Real Housewives of Orange County.   We talk about: [1:55] How Sandy and Braunwyn first connected about sobriety  [3:10] What Braunwyn’s life looks like today  [6:05] Is it normal to get cravings on your sobriety journey?  [7:25] How to handle urges to drink  [10:55] How Braunwyn’s kids are handling her sobriety  [12:05] The power of a good support system [13:45] Braunwyn’s journey to sobriety [18:35] How being sober has changed the way Braunwyn communicates with people and show up in her life [19:15] Advice for people who think they might be an alcoholic or addict [23:05] Braunwyn’s advice for people wanting to do the next right thing    LEAVE US YOUR QUESTIONS HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/captainsandyandleahrae   CONNECT WITH CAPTAIN SANDY:  https://www.instagram.com/captainsandrayawn/  https://captainsandyyawn.com/  https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=captain+sandy+yawn  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKUWGHBOhi0kV_VBoIDns-g   CONNECT WITH LEAH RAE: https://www.instagram.com/leahraeofficial/  https://leahraemusic.com/  https://hydralounge.com    CONNECT WITH BRAUNWYN https://www.instagram.com/braunwynwindhamburke
