As we work through this huge spectrum of emotions during recovery, where both wolves are, you know, pretty strong, when we build up the strong wolf, the things like self-compassion do get stronger. It helps us move through them and move them away right.
Imagine growing up in a culture where drinking is as common as tea time. That's the backdrop for Sophie Aghdami's story, an addiction recovery coach now living in Australia. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', Sophie opens up about her journey from early teenage drinking in the UK to hitting rock bottom and finding her way to a thriving, sober life. She shares how a simple parable about feeding the good wolf transformed her approach to recovery.
Host Duane Osterlind, a licensed marriage and family therapist, guides the conversation, delving into the pressures Sophie faced while managing restaurants and how alcohol became her go-to stress reliever. But it's not just about the struggle; it's about the triumph. Sophie talks candidly about her time in rehab in Thailand and the pivotal moment when her older brother intervened, helping her realize it was time to seek help.
This episode isn't just another recovery story; it's a testament to the power of choice, self-compassion, and nurturing positivity. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Sophie's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and how you can too.
