I think there are people in that trap who definitely need to know that recovery is available, that it counts and that you don't have to be a fall down drunk or whatever the substance is in order to qualify for finding recovery, and that there is a way to be on the other side of it.
Ever wondered what lies between social drinking and full-blown alcoholism? In this episode of 'All Things Substance', therapist Betsy Byler sits down with Lisa, who shares her compelling journey through gray area drinking and her path to recovery. Gray area drinking is that tricky middle ground where one’s drinking habits aren’t severe enough to be labeled as alcoholism but are more than just casual social drinking.
It’s a space many find themselves in, often hidden behind the guise of cultural norms like 'mom-wine culture' or the ubiquitous 'happy hour'. Lisa’s story is a beacon of hope for those navigating this ambiguous terrain. She opens up about the struggles she faced and the pivotal moments that led her to seek a life without alcohol. Her narrative is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to hit rock bottom to start your recovery journey.
Lisa and Betsy delve into the concept of moderation management, discussing why it works for some but not for others, and emphasizing the importance of finding a personalized path to sobriety. For therapists, this episode is packed with insights on how to address gray area drinking with clients. Betsy also mentions her upcoming workshop, designed to equip therapists with the skills to initiate conversations about substance use.
Whether you're a therapist looking to expand your toolkit or someone grappling with your own drinking habits, Lisa’s story offers valuable perspectives and encouragement. Tune in to this inspiring episode of 'All Things Substance' and discover that peace and recovery are within reach, even if you haven’t hit rock bottom.
