Let’s face it- we’re all recovering from something. Do you hide away in the kitchen feeding that chocolate addiction, do you need to get high to make love, is there something that you are compelled to do that keeps you away from being free? There are all sorts of addictions and every day we are recovering from one kind or another.

Be it our own journey or the journey of a loved one, recovery from addiction of any kind is something that carries an air of social stigma. Something we do in private. Uh, NEWS FLASH! Bringing it into the light, shedding the shame you may carry around it, feeling proud and recovering out loud is empowering and liberating. It’s what we’re all about. It’s also what Dawn Nickel of She Recovers is about.

In this episode of SHAMEBOOTH, we speak with kindred spirit Dawn Nickel, co-founder of She Recovers exploring addiction, recovery and the power of sharing and healing because when we heal, our families and communities heal as well. Boom.

We also hear from other women the advice they would give themselves early in their recovery. It’s some powerful shit.
