Breakfast with an Alcoholic: Equine Therapy

Welcome to Breakfast with an Alcoholic! We’re doing something a little different today. As you may have gathered, it took me a while to get sober and that did include some stints in rehab. There were some amazing moments, some really sad moments and some really, really funny moments. I’ve written stories about some of those moments and I wanted to share one of them with you today—it’s about our morning of Equine Therapy. Hopefully, it lands in that third category—I do want to say that it does reflect how we actually talked in rehab, so listener discretion is advised.¹ I hope you’ll enjoy me reading Equine Therapy: Can Horses Save Eight Middle-Aged Alcoholics!²

As always, I’m so grateful for you subscribers—you are collectively the straw that stirs the non-alcoholic drink for me. We’ll be back to another episode of Breakfast with an Alcoholic next week, featuring another alcoholic and pancakes and coffee and everything! But for now, pour yourself a cup of coffee and listen in.³

Thanks for Letting Me Share

1. While I did keep copious journals in rehab, I’ve changed details and names and such to protect people’s anonymity and hopefully to make it a better story.

2. If you’d rather read this than hear me read it:
