I really had some trauma that I have just not dealt with, I've shoved under the rug, I hid behind the alcohol and so I read his book. I don't believe this is happening, so I battle that in my head.
What happens when an adrenaline junkie swaps mountain peaks for meditation mats? In this episode of the Mindful Times Podcast, host Demi Davidson sits down with her mother, Michele Taylor, a woman who has lived life on the edge—literally. Michele's story is a rollercoaster ride through her battle with unhealthy drinking habits, her quest for adrenaline, and the eventual calm she found in sobriety and mindfulness.
Michele opens up about how her love for extreme sports initially masked her escalating alcohol use. She shares candidly about the moment she realized she needed to change and how she tackled the fear of missing out (FOMO) that often haunts those who give up drinking. Instead of succumbing to the void left by alcohol, Michele sought thrills in mountain climbing and other high-adrenaline activities.
But the real turning point came when she discovered the healing power of meditation and mindfulness. Throughout the conversation, Michele highlights the importance of community support in her journey. She talks about how connecting with others who understood her struggles made all the difference. One particularly striking moment is when Michele reflects on the trauma she had hidden behind her drinking.
'I really had some trauma that I just hadn't dealt with', she admits, emphasizing the necessity of addressing deep-seated issues to achieve true recovery. For anyone grappling with alcohol addiction or looking for inspiration to stay sober, Michele's story is a beacon of hope. Her journey underscores that with the right mindset and support, it's possible to overcome addiction and lead a fulfilling life.
Tune in to hear Michele's heartfelt insights and discover how mindfulness can transform your path to sobriety.
