Writing Your Recovery with Ann Dowsett Johnston. I am beyond excited to share this podcast interview with the absolutely lovely Ann Dowsett Johnston. If you don’t know, Ann is an award-winning journalist and bestselling author of ‘Drink: The Intimate Relationship between Women and Alcohol’ which is still as relevant today as when Ann wrote it, ten years ago.
Ann is an amazing woman who has helped to transform lives, through her writing, with her work on removing the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction and most recently in her role as a psychotherapist.
This is a wonderful conversation and I am incredibly grateful to Ann for sticking with me as she had a terrible cold that day. Ann and I discuss the pinking of the market by the alcohol companies; the normalising of what Ann calls the modern woman’s steroid, and the risky drinking by intelligent, successful women.
We also talked about Ann’s book, Ann's personal story about hr own drinking and how she quit, the healing power of writing in recovery, and how you can be supported by Ann and other women on the same journey as you in Ann’s nourishing and incredibly healing, ‘Writing your Recovery’ course.
Ann shares some of her other tools on how to change your relationship with alcohol both in the early days and long term and we also get an insight into Ann’s new book.
So, grab a cuppa, settle in and enjoy.
