When we get into an inquiry about what is this to me in my life. Why would I choose to bring this into my life, especially if it hurts my body or it clouds my mind, or it doesn't let me access my emotions in the right way, or like we're discussing here? I'd like to ask if anything else comes up for you in my answer to this and what your thoughts are now.
Have you ever felt like alcohol isn't ruining your life, but you still can't seem to quit? This episode of 'In The Circle' with Tommy Rosen dives into this very dilemma, focusing on those who don't identify as alcoholics yet find it hard to stop drinking. Rebecca, a community member, voices a concern many share: 'Alcohol is not ruining my life, but I can't stop drinking'. Tommy unpacks this complex issue, offering a fresh perspective on addiction and recovery.
He introduces the concept of 'high bottoms' – people who haven't hit rock bottom but still struggle with alcohol. Unlike severe alcoholics who clearly need to change, high bottom drinkers often face ambiguity about their relationship with alcohol. Tommy challenges the binary view of alcoholism and encourages self-reflection without judgment. What if we didn't label drinking as good or bad? Instead, we could focus on our own experiences and feelings to make informed decisions.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about their drinking habits and looking for a path to healthier choices. Tommy's empathetic approach and insightful discussions provide a roadmap for those navigating the gray areas of alcohol use. Tune in to explore how understanding your 'high bottom' can be the first step towards a more fulfilling life.
