When we recover, we are returning to a normal state of health, mind or strength. It's very exciting, but it's been very challenging, and that is: how do we not pick up a drink while we're going through trauma, when my instinct in the past, before I quit drinking, was to always pick up to come home and have that bottle of wine or that case of beer to just numb the feelings out?
Picture this: life throws you a curveball, and instead of reaching for a drink, you find a way to stand tall. That's the journey Lane Kennedy and Tamar Medford share in this episode of 'The Now What Society Podcast'. With over 36 years of sobriety between them, these hosts know a thing or two about handling life's toughest moments without turning to alcohol.
They open up about their personal battles with trauma and how they’ve managed to stay sober through it all. The conversation is raw and real, offering a glimpse into their struggles and triumphs. But it's not just about their stories; it’s about practical advice you can use. Lane and Tamar talk about the power of having a strong support network and why self-care isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lifeline.
They also dive into mindful eating and the importance of getting back to basics when things get overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt like life’s challenges are too much to handle, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that recovery is possible and that there are healthier ways to cope. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find nuggets of wisdom and encouragement here.
Tune in for an episode that’s as supportive as it is informative, offering hope and actionable tips for navigating trauma without picking up a drink.
