We blame these things because it justifies our behaviour. But how is drinking helping?
In this episode of Soberful, Veronica Valli and Chip Somers tackle the tricky subject of blame in the context of alcohol addiction. Ever find yourself pointing fingers at others or your circumstances for your drinking habits? You're not alone. Veronica and Chip explain how blame can be a psychological defence mechanism that keeps us stuck in harmful patterns.
They dive into personal stories and professional experiences, shedding light on how childhood trauma and other painful experiences often serve as excuses for continued drinking. But here's the kicker – while it's crucial to acknowledge and validate these experiences, at some point, you need to take responsibility for your actions and make a change. The hosts discuss the challenge of shifting from a blame mindset to one of personal accountability and healing.
They also share practical advice on how to start this journey, emphasising the importance of seeking help and support. By the end of the episode, you'll feel inspired to reclaim your power and take control of your narrative. So, if you're ready to stop blaming and start living a healthier, sober life, this episode is a must-listen.
