#3: Sacha Goolsby (she/her) found recovery during the Covid-19 lockdown. Although she had known for awhile she wanted to end her dependency on alcohol, Sacha decided to prioritize sobriety after Halloween 2020 and hasn't looked back ever since. Within the confines of her home, Sacha spent her evenings practicing yoga and connecting with her virtual community, in her words: "getting clean on the screen."
Tune into the episode to hear more of Sacha's story, including:

• How finding an online recovery community and virtual classes were the right step for her, especially in the beginning.
• The importance of having a network of friends in recovery -- both to support you and hold you accountable.
• How acupuncture helped kickstart Sacha's recovery and is now a way she gives back to her community.
• How her sobriety has helped shape her kids' views on alcohol and underage drinking.
