When you remove the alcohol or the drugs and all the drugs, you're very raw, yeah, particularly if you're a socially anxious person.
Imagine trying to navigate social situations without the crutch of alcohol or drugs.

The trio doesn't shy away from sharing their own struggles, making it clear that these mental health issues are often magnified once the substances are stripped away.
Jeff mentions how many social activities revolve around getting 'super hamskied', and the challenge of finding new ways to engage socially without feeling overwhelmed. The hosts swap stories about their coping mechanisms—whether it's diving into a good book, escaping into movies, or simply staying home to recharge. They emphasize the importance of self-acceptance and keeping things in perspective during tough times.
If you've ever felt the rawness of sobriety or struggled to balance your mental health with a social life, this episode offers a candid, non-judgmental space to explore those feelings. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that resonates with anyone on the path to recovery.
