Ever felt trapped in the shame of your past actions? This episode of 'Alcohol-isms: Dad. Daughter. Sober.' tackles that very feeling head-on. Hosted by the dynamic duo, Dan and Tara, both recovering alcoholics, they dive into the murky waters of shame and how it can paralyse and hinder your journey to sobriety.
With decades of experience in both alcohol abuse and recovery, Dan and Tara bring their candid conversations to the forefront, offering a raw and honest look at their own struggles with shame. Dan opens up about how shame was a constant companion during his drinking days, leading him to a vicious cycle of self-medication. Tara adds her perspective, sharing how she believed alcohol made her cool and edgy, only to end up feeling immense shame every time she sobered up.
They explore how shame can make you feel isolated and unworthy, but also discuss ways to break free from this destructive emotion. Therapy, community support like Alcoholics Anonymous, and changing your inner narrative are some of the key strategies they highlight. Dan's poignant analogy of alcoholism as a 'dark passenger' offers a unique way to understand and combat this condition. The episode is not just about identifying the problem but also about finding practical solutions to move past it.
By the end, you'll feel inspired to confront your own shame and take steps towards a healthier, sober life. Tune in for an episode filled with empathy, real-life experiences, and a touch of humour to lighten the load.
