You know, just to get on and say I'm really good at this, or I did really well at this...the more people get comfortable being able to be proud of what they're doing, the less chance they're going to have of needing to pick up alcohol to cover up the self-esteem issues that are invariably part of the reason why they're drinking in the first place.
Ever wondered how to reignite the spark of joy in your life while battling alcohol addiction? In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr sits down with therapist Ben Schiller, who brings a unique blend of professional expertise and personal recovery experience to the table. Ben dives into the nitty-gritty of overcoming alcohol dependency, offering practical advice that's both heartfelt and grounded in real-life experience.
Ben discusses how reconnecting with childhood joys can be a game-changer in the recovery journey. Remember those simple pleasures that once made you feel alive? Ben argues that tapping back into these can reignite your passions and help you find genuine happiness without the crutch of alcohol. And yes, he even talks about why indulging in a donut can be a perfectly reasonable substitute for a drink! The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics either.
Ben provides insights on navigating relationships where one partner wants to quit drinking but the other doesn't, setting boundaries around alcohol at home, and even the controversial topic of using microdosing shrooms or cannabis oil as part of the recovery process. One standout moment is Ben's emphasis on being proud of your accomplishments. He believes that boosting self-esteem through celebrating small victories can significantly reduce the need for alcohol as a coping mechanism.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical tips and emotional support, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Ben Schiller's valuable insights and find out how you can start tapping back into your joy today.
