For me, though, like in this time, sobriety is the only option for me, like drinking is not going to get me anywhere I want to be, especially with how serious everything is going on right now.
Stressful events like elections can throw anyone off balance, especially if you're on a sobriety journey. In this episode of the Seltzer Squad podcast, hosts Kate Zander and Jes Valentine share their personal experiences of navigating sobriety amidst the whirlwind of the recent presidential election. The episode kicks off with Kate revealing how she managed her anxiety by stepping away from the city and indulging in some much-needed self-care.
Once the election results were out, both hosts reflect on how the outcome influenced their sobriety and mental well-being. They dive into the crucial role of self-care during stressful times and caution against using alcohol as a coping mechanism. With the added pressure of the pandemic, maintaining sobriety has become even more challenging for many.
Kate and Jes openly discuss the reality of relapse, emphasizing that it can happen to anyone but also highlighting the importance of staying committed to recovery and seeking support when needed. A touching moment in the episode comes when Kate shares a message from a listener who got sober during the pandemic, reminding us all of life's preciousness.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation that offers a safe space for anyone struggling with sobriety, providing hope and encouragement to stay on track even during tough times.
