I think everyone should be regularly checking in with their own mental health and well-being to see how they're traveling, because it's not a linear journey with mental health.
How often do we stop to think about the real connection between mental health and sobriety? In this episode of 'After Alcohol', hosts Leisa Leon and Leanne Franks get candid about their personal experiences with mental health struggles and how these are closely tied to their journey of living alcohol-free. They dive into the expectations people have when they stop drinking, especially around mental well-being, and why it's crucial to regularly check in on one's mental state.
The discussion also tackles the stigma surrounding mental health and the challenge of asking for help. Leisa and Leanne highlight how alcohol is often misused as a quick fix for negative emotions, only to worsen anxiety and depression in the long run. They share their thoughts on embracing vulnerability in therapy, dealing with bipolar disorder, and the importance of prioritizing mental health.
With a sprinkle of humor, a touch of Yeezy, and plenty of heartfelt moments, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating sobriety or grappling with mental health issues.
