Overcoming the Stigma of Alcohol Problems in Healthcare: Interview with Nurse Practitioner Carrie May

On this episode of the podcast, I welcome Carrie May. Carrie is an Emergency Department Nurse Practitioner and a certified Addiction Recovery Coach (IAPRC) with a She Recovers designation. She is the Founder of both Brave and Chicago AF, her nonprofit sober community which hosts weekly support meetings and alcohol free social events. Carrie is passionate about normalizing sobriety and curating space for authentic sober connection.

We chat about:

  • How Carrie went from detoxing patients in the ER to getting treated for Alcohol Use Disorder herself
  • The stigma of drinking problems in healthcare and what needs to change
  • What Carrie sees in the ER related to alcohol
  • What adventure recovery coaching is
  • The power of napping as self-care and other approaches towards anxiety
  • Starting Chicago AF and hosting sober retreats
  • And more!
