Emotional sobriety has to do with being present, and that's a really big thing I'm really focusing on right now.
Have you ever wondered what emotional sobriety really means? In this episode of 'Thru the Wringer with Mike and Jo', the dynamic duo dives into this lesser-known aspect of recovery. As adult children of alcoholics, Mike and Jo have navigated a labyrinth of emotions throughout their lives. They candidly share how emotional sobriety emerged as a crucial milestone in their healing journey, something they only discovered a couple of years ago.
Emotional sobriety, they explain, is the result of dedicated recovery work and an essential part of achieving lasting peace and balance. One intriguing concept they discuss is the 'inner drugstore', a metaphorical space where people seek quick emotional fixes. This episode sheds light on the survival traits often seen in adult children of alcoholics, like the tendency to fall into a victim mentality or struggle with expressing feelings.
Mike and Jo emphasize the importance of being present and connected in our lives. They believe that true emotional sobriety comes from this presence and connection, helping us break free from past traumas and fostering genuine well-being. With their trademark humor and heartfelt insights, Mike and Jo make complex psychological ideas accessible and relatable. Whether you're on your own recovery path or supporting someone else, this episode offers valuable perspectives on emotional health.
