I had a feeling that I couldn't relate to the world. I just felt like an alien, like so weird, and I was pissed off. I was so angry at everything, so resentful of my home life. And I'd see like my friends, their mothers were like their best friends, and I did not have that at all.
Abi Feltham's story on the 'Sober Motivation' podcast is a poignant reminder that running from your problems won't make them disappear. Growing up, Abi felt out of place and struggled to express her emotions. She found solace in following rock bands and partying, a lifestyle that began at the tender age of 13 with her first drink. That drink made her feel normal for the first time, a dangerous allure that led to years of alcohol dependency and escapism.
For over a decade, Abi traveled the world, thinking that new places and faces would fill the void inside her. But no matter where she went, she couldn't escape herself. Her journey reached a critical low point, often referred to as 'rock bottom', which forced her to confront the reality she had been avoiding for so long. Returning to the UK, Abi decided it was time to face her demons head-on.
In this episode, Abi opens up about her struggles and the turning points that led her towards sobriety. She talks about the importance of mindfulness and how keeping a recovery journal has been instrumental in her journey. Her candidness offers hope and inspiration to anyone feeling trapped by addiction. It's a raw, unfiltered look at the highs and lows of recovery, emphasizing that change is possible no matter how far you've fallen.
Whether you're just starting your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Abi's story is a testament to the power of facing your fears and finding strength within yourself. Tune in for an honest conversation about what it takes to reclaim your life from the grips of addiction.
