We can actually look at what is going well in our lives, what is not working so well in our lives, and make constructive change through critical thinking. We can't really do that when we're suppressing half or all of our emotions with drinking or drugging or keeping busy.
Ever wondered if life without alcohol or drugs is genuinely better? In this episode of the SoberSoul Recovery Podcast, Lynn Matti dives into this pressing question. With drug use rising across various demographics in the U.S., Lynn examines why, despite widespread awareness of the dangers, substance abuse continues to climb. From opioids to marijuana, she dissects the factors driving these trends, including shifting societal attitudes and increasing stress levels.
Lynn doesn't just throw statistics at you; she makes sense of them. She discusses how polls and data on drug use can be misleading, making it hard to grasp the full picture. And it's not just about the numbers—it's about our collective mental state. With stress at an all-time high and fewer coping mechanisms available, more people are turning to substances for relief. But Lynn offers hope and practical advice.
She emphasizes the critical role of self-care in managing stress and shares her own journey of long-term recovery. Her personal story brings a relatable touch, showing that life without substances can indeed bring peace of mind. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone curious about sobriety or struggling with addiction. Lynn’s holistic approach to mental wellness offers a fresh perspective on recovery, making this a must-listen for those seeking a healthier, happier life.
