I think when you're doing something you know you shouldn't be doing or you don't want to be doing, there is like this underlying level of anxiety that kind of just has been with you constantly, and so the only thing that I was doing to avoid it was like continuing to drink.
Keisha Scott and Dennise take you on a heartfelt journey through their personal experiences with sobriety in this episode of 'Done with Debauchery'. Keisha marks a significant milestone—100 days sober—and shares her insights from a recent sober weekend getaway. She offers practical tips for anyone looking to enjoy a holiday without alcohol, just in time for the summer season. Her candidness about the highs and lows of her journey is both inspiring and relatable.
On the flip side, Dennise opens up about her ongoing battle with moderation. Despite numerous attempts, she finds herself returning to full abstinence each time. Her honesty about these struggles sheds light on the often-hidden challenges of trying to moderate drinking, making it clear that the path to sobriety is rarely straightforward.
The episode also dives into somatic trauma training and its role in early sobriety, offering listeners new tools to cope with the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies giving up alcohol. Keisha and Dennise discuss how their behaviors have changed compared to their non-sober days and explore the impact of drinking around impressionable teenagers. As they wrap up, the hosts emphasize the importance of being honest with oneself and others about sobriety.
Keisha’s words resonate deeply: 'It's a part of the process and it doesn't mean that you need to fully shame yourself or stop trying'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone on their own journey to wellness, offering both practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
