Rethinking Rock Bottom: Laura L's Journey to Recovery

And until you remove that and you're forced to cause your own happiness, or not drink your happiness or cause your own success- that kind of thing- and not envy someone else's success, it becomes about you, definitely, but it's about the work that you're going to do and the work that you're going to put in to get to the result that you want.
What if hitting rock bottom isn't the only way to start your recovery journey? In this episode of 'The Way Out', Laura L opens up about her path to sobriety and healing from the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic parent. With over four years of continuous sobriety, Laura's story is a powerful testament to the idea that you don't have to wait for the worst to happen before seeking help.
She discusses the dangers of self-centeredness and the importance of dealing with emotions head-on. Therapy and self-care play crucial roles in her recovery, as does setting firm boundaries to fight codependency. Laura's candid reflections offer a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with similar issues. Her message is clear: recovery is about the work you put in and the commitment to change. Tune in to hear Laura's inspiring journey and gain valuable insights into managing your own recovery process.
