When you stop drinking, you have got to deal with your shit. Even if the stuff that you know we're kids and we were abused. You're left with these feelings, that you're left with this fear that's out of control, and you're left with not having a healthy process to deal with the normal resentments that we pick up in life by just dealing with the f***ing human race that's out there, because we've got to deal with people.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the jargon in recovery circles? Veronica Valli and Chip Somers are here to help. In this episode of 'Soberful', they take apart common recovery terms like 'alcoholic', 'problem drinker', and 'alcohol use disorder'. They also dive into the nuanced difference between being 'recovered' and 'recovering'. But it’s not just about definitions; Veronica and Chip explore the emotional rollercoaster that comes with quitting alcohol.
They talk about dealing with feelings of resentment and fear, and why simply stopping drinking is just the beginning. The real challenge lies in managing your emotions and finding freedom from others' opinions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand the language of recovery and the emotional hurdles that come with it. Plus, there's a special mention of an upcoming women's retreat in Long Island.
Tune in for an enlightening conversation that could make your sobriety journey a bit smoother.
