I believe we are medicating something away... once we cross the line into addiction, I believe we are medicating something away. If I get a good night's sleep and I feel good about myself, I feel proud of the person I'm being- the father, I'm being the husband, I'm being the work that I'm doing. If all of those boxes are checkable, I don't seem to eat as much bad stuff for me.
Picture this: you're supporting someone through their battle with alcoholism, and you keep hearing that self-esteem is a double-edged sword. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Matt and Sheri Salis flip that notion on its head. They argue that self-esteem isn't just important; it's crucial for the healing and recovery of those who love alcoholics. Forget the idea that pride leads to relapse.
Instead, Matt and Sheri dive into how boosting self-worth can actually be a lifeline for long-term sobriety. Drawing from their own ups and downs, they share how negative self-talk and societal shame can stall recovery. But it doesn't stop there. They also offer practical advice on how to foster a healthy sense of self-worth. From breaking the cycle of guilt to building positive communication patterns, this episode is packed with actionable tips.
Towards the end, Matt opens up about why Sheri's growing self-esteem means so much to him, adding a personal touch that makes their message even more relatable. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or supporting someone else, this episode offers valuable insights into how self-esteem can transform the journey. So, if you're tired of the old narratives around pride and ego in recovery, tune in. Matt and Sheri provide a fresh perspective that's both enlightening and empowering.
