Episode 16: Letting go of shame, guilt and anger, with Peggi Cooney
Peggi Cooney is the author of This Side of Alcohol, a raw and compelling account of her journey from shame, guilt, and anger into self-compassion, self-discovery, and forgiveness. She is also the founder of the Facebook community, This Side of Alcohol, and a vocal and courageous voice in the alcohol-free space. We talk about her ‘on her knees’ moment that changed everything and what she did to get and stay sober.
*warning - there is some explicit language and reference to mild violence.
