We should not need a drug to help us escape from our lives.
Picture this: it's Christmas, a time of joy, family gatherings, and, for many, a season filled with alcohol. But what if you're trying to stay sober? In this episode of the Detox Podcast, Denise Walker shares her personal journey of navigating the holiday season without alcohol. Denise dives into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sobriety during such a socially charged time.
She candidly discusses how easy it is to feel isolated or tempted to give in to old habits when surrounded by others who are drinking. Yet, she emphasizes that the power to stay sober lies within us all. Denise's reflections are not just about resisting temptation; they're about finding joy in new traditions. She talks about the simple pleasure of enjoying sparkling water and charcuterie, activities she once thought were inseparable from alcohol.
These moments of joy become powerful reminders that life without addiction can be fulfilling and even exhilarating. The episode also touches on the impact of addiction on relationships. Denise shares her experiences of feeling 'insane' during her early recovery and how recognizing the signs of addiction was a crucial step in her journey. She uses humor to lighten the conversation, recounting how having glassware with an old roommate was a clear sign of her addictive behaviors.
But it's not all heavy topics; Denise brings hope and encouragement. She talks about the beauty of life without addiction, where big dreams and new possibilities emerge. She urges listeners to find strength within themselves, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles. If you're looking for heartfelt advice and relatable stories to help you stay sober through the holidays, this episode offers a comforting and inspiring listen.
