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.
