It's just listening from the beginning, like those initial seeds of unworthiness being planted in your mind, of you know not being smart enough and then having the trauma of losing a friend and the sexual trauma later in your life and the objectification of your body, like I can just hear in your story this slow accumulation.
Ever felt the pressure of mommy wine culture or wondered why it’s so hard to quit drinking? Meg Geisewite gets real about these struggles in this episode of the Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast. Meg, an ordinary mom who found herself trapped in the cycle of using alcohol to cope, shares her eye-opening journey towards sobriety that began in November 2019. Her love for science led her to uncover the deceptive allure of alcohol and its many lies.
In her debut book, 'Intoxicating Lies: One Woman's Journey to Freedom from Gray Area Drinking', Meg challenges five common myths about alcohol and reveals that we are enough just as we are. She dives into how over-functioning, perfectionism, and hustle culture contribute to alcohol use, and opens up about the impact of sexual trauma. Through candid storytelling, Meg offers practical tools for lasting sobriety, including how to bounce back from slip-ups.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone caught in the detox-to-retox loop or seeking a supportive community to help them thrive without alcohol. Tune in for a hopeful and compassionate discussion that might just change your perspective on drinking.
