Although early sobriety can be challenging, it's important to remember that it's completely normal to experience mood swings, anxiety, and irregular sleep. The good news is that it does get better with time.
Starting the journey to sobriety can feel like riding an emotional roller coaster. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy sits down with guests Amy, Deb, and Lynn to talk about the often-overlooked challenges of early sobriety. While most expect physical withdrawal symptoms like headaches and nausea, many are blindsided by the emotional turbulence that follows, known as Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS).
Amy shares her sleepless nights, Deb talks about finding her 'tribe' for support, and Lynn emphasizes the importance of self-care, especially for those juggling multiple responsibilities like motherhood. The episode is filled with practical advice on managing mood swings, anxiety, and cravings. Whether it's making lists, discovering new hobbies, or simply prioritizing yourself, these real-life stories offer both comfort and actionable tips.
If you're navigating the ups and downs of early sobriety, this episode provides a supportive community and invaluable insights to help you through.
