It was such an eye-opener because I did it to myself, you know, like nobody, nobody, you know, I didn't get hit by a car, you know, like I did it myself by giving myself alcohol.
Imagine growing up in a household where the unspoken rule is to never mention the elephant in the room—alcoholism. That's the backdrop of Devin F.'s life, which she shares candidly in this episode of 'Podcast Recovery'. Despite the heavy presence of alcohol in her family, no one talked about it, leaving Devin to navigate her own path through teenage drinking and young adulthood excesses.
Becoming a single parent didn't slow her down; instead, it added more stress and fuelled her drinking habits. But life had other plans for Devin. Struggling with neuropathy and the mounting pressures of daily life, she stumbled upon mindfulness as a way to cope. This discovery was a game-changer, not just for her own recovery but for many women who found solace in the safe space she created for sharing their stories.
In this episode, Devin talks about the ups and downs of her journey to sobriety, emphasizing that recovery is deeply personal and what works for one person might not work for another. The conversation also touches on an interesting debate: the difference between being 'sober' and being 'clean'. Devin shares her thoughts on this and highlights the wealth of online resources available for those seeking help.
Throughout the episode, the mission of 'Podcast Recovery' shines through—providing education, raising awareness, and amplifying voices of hope. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Devin's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and finding what works for you is key. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and discover the strength that comes from breaking the silence.
