For me, fear is the engine that drives alcoholism. And let's talk about your feeling of apartness, and that's what you know, lack of connection or that kind of stuff, and you know, and drinking is just a symptom, et cetera, et cetera, which you know, you guys know.
What happens when you hit rock bottom even after achieving sobriety? Veronica Valli knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Since Right Now', she sits down with host Chris to unpack her journey from addiction to recovery, and the unexpected challenges she faced along the way. With over fifteen years of experience as a therapist and life coach specializing in addiction, Valli brings a wealth of knowledge and personal insight to the table.
Valli shares her story of hitting another low point two and a half years into sobriety, a moment she describes as worse than her initial rock bottom. This episode delves into the critical role spirituality played in her recovery. For Valli, fear was the driving force behind her alcoholism, and finding a sense of connection and purpose was key to breaking free.
She challenges the conventional notion that spirituality must be tied to religion, advocating instead for a personalized approach that resonates with each individual. The conversation also explores the impact of childhood trauma on addiction and the importance of balance in recovery. Valli emphasizes the ongoing nature of recovery, stressing the need for self-compassion and self-care. She candidly discusses the limitations of traditional recovery programs like AA and the importance of challenging stereotypes and stigma surrounding addiction.
Throughout the episode, Valli's insights offer a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of recovery. Whether you're in the early stages of sobriety or have been on this path for years, her story is a testament to the resilience and adaptability required to navigate this journey.
