I really want people to be able to also say, like I want to take a break from drinking just because maybe you've been struggling with anxiety more lately, maybe you've been feeling more depressed, maybe you just want to do something for yourself so you can feel a little bit better.
Imagine a book that doesn’t just tell you to stop drinking but dives deep into why you might be drinking in the first place. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara chat with Amanda White, the therapist behind the wildly popular Instagram account @therapyforwomen, about her new book 'Not Drinking Tonight'. Amanda’s book isn't just for those who are already sober; it's for anyone contemplating their relationship with alcohol.
She breaks down the history of stress, addiction switching, and recovery strategies, making it clear that understanding the 'why' is just as important as the 'how'. Amanda opens up about her personal journey, revealing how alcohol was intertwined with her eating disorder and social anxieties. She stresses the importance of honesty and taking breaks from drinking to improve mental health, even if you don’t consider yourself an alcoholic.
The episode also highlights the crucial role of support groups and therapy in recovery. Lisa, Tawny, and Amanda touch on learning new skills and emotional regulation as key components of a healthier life. And because it wouldn’t be 'Recovery Rocks' without a nod to music, they discuss how Taylor Swift’s songs have been a source of comfort and inspiration during their recovery journeys. This episode is a blend of heartfelt stories, practical advice, and a sprinkle of music magic.
Whether you're sober, curious, or just looking for some insightful conversation, this chat with Amanda White offers something for everyone.
