To me, the battles that you're having in the early battles, like, yeah, there's this battle to not take a drink in your hand and put it to your lips, to not drink, but inside that and like before that and deeper than that is like the reason that you drink, and it's like it's about escaping reality and escaping your problems.
What happens when you hit the two-year mark of sobriety? Guest hosts Sara Molloy and Elaine Skyler-Neal, who fondly call themselves 'sober toddlers', share their raw and real experiences on this episode of the Sobertown Podcast. They reflect on the ups and downs of their journey, shedding light on what it truly takes to achieve sustained sobriety. Sara opens up about how her increasing business demands made her realize she couldn't juggle drinking and working.
Elaine talks candidly about the shame and negative self-talk that haunted her during her drinking days. Both women agree that community support was a cornerstone in their recovery. They dive into the societal pressures to drink and how embracing one's true self can be a powerful antidote. Personal relationships also come under the microscope, as they discuss how sobriety has affected their connections with family and friends. Throughout their conversation, Sara and Elaine emphasize the importance of self-perception and self-acceptance.
They remind us that the battle against addiction isn't just about silencing the addict voice but also managing the other negative voices in our heads. Reframing thoughts about alcohol and challenging its normalization in society are crucial steps in their journey. Their honest discussion offers a treasure trove of insights for anyone grappling with addiction, making this episode a must-listen.
