Sobriety is not gender specific and a lot of alcohol use disorder comes from childhood and trauma. We hide our emotions, why when our bodies are naturally reacting to our emotions. We are told to resist expressing emotions. Stored emotions reveal themselves in sobriety and whilst painful to work through it should not kill you. We have to eliminate the 'stigma' of men having to be strong and not expressive.
What happens when men start to break down the walls of emotional suppression in their journey to sobriety? In this compelling episode of Sobertown Podcast, host King13 sits down with A-Rod and DadLife to tackle the often-overlooked topic of men and sobriety. The trio dives into the deep-seated roots of alcohol use disorder, tracing it back to childhood trauma and the societal pressure on men to hide their emotions.
They discuss how these buried feelings resurface during recovery, bringing both pain and the opportunity for profound healing. A-Rod and DadLife candidly share their personal experiences, emphasizing that sobriety isn't a gender-specific journey and that expressing emotions is crucial for true recovery. They also highlight the importance of building supportive connections, managing expectations, and accepting oneself along the way.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the unique challenges men face in sobriety and how breaking the stigma can lead to a healthier, more authentic life.
