Description
Here’s something that I get asked about often but don’t talk about much: why I don’t use the term “alcoholic” to describe myself or anyone else.
It’s funny because as a sober coach, the host of a popular sobriety podcast and a person who has been immersed in the world of addiction and recovery for the last 10 years, I should be the poster girl for being comfortable using the terms alcoholic and alcoholism.
I have spent hundreds of hours talking about women and drinking, alcohol and our society, addiction and different paths to recovery.
I’ve attended sober retreats, recovery conferences, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and have participated in all kinds of online groups and in person gatherings of people going alcohol-free.
I also have many friends in the recovery space who use the term alcoholic to describe themselves proudly.
