Most of the major points in my life where I used to cope fully were because of self-worth.
Ever tried balancing the chaos of addiction with the adventure of studying abroad? In this eye-opening episode of 'Weird Fat and Sober', Daniel Wooldridge sits down with Emily, who recounts her tumultuous journey through alcoholism while navigating life in a foreign country. Emily opens up about the emotional rollercoaster following her mother's death and how her father's own recovery journey shaped her battle with addiction.
High school wasn't just about grades for Emily; it was a time when her drinking habits spiraled out of control, fueled by a lack of healthy coping mechanisms and mental health support. Her story is a candid exploration of how self-imposed shame and guilt can trap you in a cycle of addiction, and how community and faith can offer a lifeline.
Emily doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges she faced, from societal pressures to conspiracy theories, all while emphasizing the importance of addressing deep-rooted traumas and beliefs in the recovery process. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Emily's story offers a raw, relatable perspective on the power of recovery and the importance of seeking help. Tune in for an episode that blends heartfelt honesty with moments of humor, providing both inspiration and practical insights.
