It's crazy to think that, like the decisions of people, uh, a few generations prior to us and the decisions they made around substances and the way they reacted to trauma, has, kind of like, just trickled down to people you know, three or four generations removed from them.
Imagine growing up in a household where alcohol was a constant presence. In this episode of Brobriety's Club Soda Club, Derek, Jess, and Scott come together to share their deeply personal stories of living with and overcoming the shadow of alcoholism within their families. Derek reflects on his dual experiences as a child surrounded by alcohol and as a parent striving for sobriety.
Jess opens up about her tumultuous upbringing, her decision to emancipate herself at 17, and the journey that led her to where she is today. Scott adds his voice to the mix, creating a rich tapestry of shared struggles and triumphs. The conversation doesn't stop at personal anecdotes; it dives into broader themes like codependency, setting healthy boundaries, and even whether kombucha counts as an alcoholic drink.
With moments of raw honesty and heartfelt empathy, this episode provides a window into the complex world of family dynamics affected by addiction. Whether you're grappling with similar issues or looking to understand them better, this episode offers a compassionate and enlightening perspective on the importance of addressing family trauma for overall well-being.
