Recovering Out Loud with The Bubble Hour

The Bubble Hour podcast is co-hosted by Jean McCarthy, a sober woman dedicated to breaking down the walls of stigma and denial surrounding the disease of alcoholism. Alcoholism effects more than 50% of adults, either directly or indirectly, and yet it remains a “taboo” topic and is still mostly misunderstood by the majority of people (even those effected by alcoholism and their loved ones). The Bubble Hour seeks to inform, educate and help people identify with the stories they hear, the conversations and interviews with people who are just like they are, and let people know they aren’t alone. Nobody can take the first tentative steps towards sobriety without first getting past denial, but even once they are past denial the stigma surrounding alcoholism is so strong that people are ­reluctant to seek help. The Bubble Hour would like to change that stigma. Jean recovers out loud. Jean and the vibrant community of sober people who join her here offer information, community, empathy and understanding. They are so grateful for the sober people who came before them to help find this path; this is one way to give back. The Bubble Hour’s mission is to provide hope and inspiration to people who are wondering about their drinking, struggling to get sober, or who are sober and want to stay that way.

Jean also has a blog called UnPickled. It began in 2011 and has continued to chronicle Jean’s alcohol-free lifestyle since her first day of sobriety. Thousands of readers credit UnPickled as a motivating factor in their decision to quit drinking. In addition, Jean was named recipient of the 2017 SheRecovers Hope Award in recognition of her efforts to help others seek positive changes in their lives.
