Tracey Cochrane: From Trauma to Tranquility in Sobriety
I think that's um, and you know you guys are all saying that about your sober sex. Yeah, oh, mate, you'll be, you'll be, uh, going for it like rabbits in no time, I'm sure, with the way you work on yourself, that's it.
Can you imagine finding peace after years of battling anorexia, enduring trauma from sexual abuse, and struggling with alcohol? In this heartfelt episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr sits down with Tracey Cochrane, who opens up about her incredible journey. Tracey shares how she moved from merely surviving to truly thriving by tackling her inner demons head-on.
She talks about her previous attempts at sobriety, which felt like white-knuckling through life, and how she finally found a sustainable path to peace. Tracey introduces us to Genevive, her inner critic, and explains how she learned to quiet that voice through breathing exercises and self-compassion. Participating in the HIQA 3-month challenge was a game-changer for her, providing not just support but a whole new perspective on life.
Now, five months sober, Tracey isn't just abstaining from alcohol; she's genuinely enjoying her journey. Her story is a powerful reminder that with the right tools and mindset, it's possible to transform pain into strength and find joy in sobriety.
