Escaping the People-Pleasing Trap: Jeremy's Journey on Recovery Happy Hour

We're people who weren't taught healthy ways to deal with our feelings, and then we rely on this toxic substance that temporarily makes us feel better while making us addicted to it.
Ever found yourself bending over backward to make others happy, even at your own expense? In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Happy Hour, host Tricia Lewis sits down with Jeremy to discuss the pitfalls of people-pleasing and its connection to alcohol addiction. Jeremy opens up about how his need to be liked and accepted led him to use alcohol as a crutch, providing temporary relief from the relentless pressure of managing others' perceptions.
Tricia and Jeremy dive into the underlying emotional issues that often drive people to drink, emphasizing the importance of uncovering these root causes for a successful recovery. They talk about different approaches like harm reduction and abstinence, stressing that each person's path to sobriety is unique. Whether it's joining community support groups like Alcohol Explained on Facebook or Reddit's Stop Drinking, finding a supportive network can make all the difference. But it's not all serious talk.
Tricia and Jeremy also highlight the joys of sober socialization and how creating a fulfilling, productive life can be a game-changer. Jeremy shares his journey of learning to be kind to himself and the balance between holding oneself accountable and not being overly critical. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that will resonate with anyone struggling with alcohol addiction or people-pleasing tendencies.
