Owen's Story: From Drinking Culture to Sobriety and Healing

I get that because each time you come down from the high or whatever where you were, you decline a little bit lower than you would have been before, and so you feel worse than when you started, and you think, and therefore your mind goes well in order to feel better than when I started, than I did before, I'll have a drink, but your highs kind of go down and down and down.
Imagine growing up in a world where drinking is the norm, and then finding yourself trapped in the same cycle. That's Owen's story. In this episode of 'My Alcoholic Mother', Owen opens up about his battle with alcoholism and the profound impact it had on his life and those around him. He shares candidly about how a drinking culture influenced his college years and family dynamics, leading to a downward spiral that was hard to escape.
Despite recognizing the issue, seeking help wasn't easy for Owen until he reached rock bottom. His journey to sobriety wasn't a straight path but one filled with therapy sessions, quitting apps, and the invaluable support of a community. Owen also gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming book, where he discusses various techniques and tools that helped him stay sober.
The episode wraps up on a hopeful note as Owen reflects on coping with the loss of his father and emphasizes the importance of mental health in his recovery. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Owen's story offers hope and practical advice. Tune in for an inspiring and relatable journey that shows recovery is possible.
