It's okay to have the feelings, it's okay for me to feel the feelings, that I don't need to do something to try to change those feelings, which has always been my mo right: taking a drink to change the way I feel or smoking a cigarette to change the way I feel.
Imagine growing up in a world where expressing your feelings is seen as a weakness. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Justin B. Long to explore his powerful journey through childhood trauma and alcoholism. Justin opens up about the suffocating grip of toxic masculinity that taught him to bury his emotions, leading him down a path of addiction. But this isn't just a tale of struggle—it's one of triumph and self-discovery.
With the support of his wife and therapist, Justin learned to confront his deepest fears and embrace vulnerability. He shares how acknowledging and feeling his emotions not only helped him heal but also transformed his life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with their past or seeking a path to emotional freedom.
Justin's story is a beacon of hope, showing that it's never too late to break free from old patterns and find a healthier, happier way to live.
