What is the definition of addiction?
“Bizzy,” her nickname and apt term, describes her pursuits and resolve “to bringing addiction out of the shadows and educating society that addiction is a disease, not who you are.”
Who is the host of Bubble Hour?
Information, empathy and understanding – those are the three gifts this podcast seeks to offer. Jean McCarthy, author, blogger and host, has been sober since 2011. When she arrived at the other side of alcoholism, she vowed to break “down the walls of stigma and denial surrounding the disease of alcoholism.” The Bubble Hour “helps people identify with the stories they hear, the conversations and interviews with people who are just like they are.” It also strives to “let people know they aren’t alone.” This comes about by bringing these discussions out in the open – “Alcoholism thrives in the dark. Together, we bring light.”
