Facing Inner Demons: Overcoming Triggers and Self-Loathing with Sheri and Matt Salis

It's super important to recognize that not only is the drinker trying to medicate this thing away, but the loved one has many of the same underlying issues, many of the same triggers, things that they don't feel good about themselves, about, things that they're beating themselves up about.
Feeling unworthy and battling negative self-talk is something many of us face, but for those dealing with alcoholism, it can be especially tough. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis open up about their personal struggles with self-criticism and the unhealthy ways they tried to cope. Matt turned to alcohol to numb his low self-esteem, while Sheri buried herself in projects to escape her own pain.
Together, they discuss common triggers of self-loathing and share the steps they're taking to develop healthier patterns. They dive into the root causes, from childhood trauma to societal pressures, and offer insights into how they're working to overcome these challenges in long-term sobriety. This episode is a candid look at the journey of healing and self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of self-care and finding support.
If you or someone you love is battling addiction, Sheri and Matt's story offers hope and practical advice for navigating the path to recovery.
