Rediscovering Your Senses: Sobriety Through 'Yo-yo'
Entering sobriety is like entering a new plane of existence.
Imagine stepping into a world where your senses come alive, and everyday moments take on new significance. In this episode of the Detox Podcast, Denise Walker dives into her poem 'Yo-yo', unraveling the sensory journey of sobriety. Denise paints a vivid picture of how quitting alcohol can feel like entering a new dimension, where colors seem brighter, sounds sharper, and even the smallest details become fascinating.
She encourages listeners to embrace their newfound clarity by doing things solo, like dining out alone, to build self-assurance and independence. Denise also touches on the guilt trap that often hinders recovery, reminding everyone to focus on the positives and celebrate small victories. One unexpected twist she highlights is the return of sugar cravings—a common but surprising aspect of sobriety.
This episode isn't just about heightened senses; it's a guide to nurturing self-care and finding joy in the little things as you navigate your path to recovery.
