I really believe that part of our recovery is to learn how to sit with those emotions and to accept that they're there, and not push them away, and to move into them and show ourselves some self-compassion and loving kindness when we're feeling that way.
What if there was a pill that could solve your drinking problem? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen welcome Penni from Australia, who shares her inspiring story of reaching six months of sobriety. They also dive into the Radio Lab podcast episode 'The Fix', questioning the idea of a quick-fix pill for alcoholism.
While the concept of a magic pill is tempting, the hosts highlight that addiction is often rooted in deeper emotional and psychological issues that medication alone can't address. This episode emphasizes the importance of community support and healthy coping mechanisms in the journey to sobriety. Breathwork, somatic experiencing, and personal anecdotes about balancing responsibilities with self-care are all discussed, providing listeners with practical advice and relatable experiences.
If you're curious about what an alcohol-free life can look like or seeking support on your own journey, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
