Insomnia: Reimagining Recovery Beyond Rock Bottom

No matter what it looks like to you, your sobriety is valid, even if, like the only bad thing from sobriety you have ever or from drinking that you've experienced is a hangover, your sobriety is valid in whatever context, whatever quantification qualification you want to give it, it is valid and it is not going to just fall out from underneath you because somebody says that you haven't had it bad enough.
Ever wondered if hitting rock bottom is really necessary for recovery? Denise Walker challenges this notion in this episode of the Detox Podcast. She dives into the surprising connections between major disasters like Chernobyl and airplane crashes, and the journey to sobriety. Denise argues that rock bottom isn't a prerequisite for change and might even be harmful. Instead, she encourages embracing the chaos and uncertainty of life, turning it into an adventure—much like the thrill of flying off a merry-go-round.
Alongside this, Denise stresses the importance of mental health and safety protocols in our daily lives. She highlights that everyone's path to sobriety is unique and deserves to be celebrated. So, if you're ready to see recovery in a new light and embrace the unknown, this episode is for you.
