And this beautiful, gorgeous heart-wrenching song- if you haven't listened to it, please listen to it. It was just this moment of sheer insanity, intensity.
Ever felt torn between two extremes? Denise Walker knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of the Detox Podcast, she dives into her poem 'Vor í Vaglaskógi', inspired by an Icelandic song and featured in her collection 'Pick Your Poison'. Denise opens up about a particularly turbulent time in her recovery when she was caught in a tug-of-war between bliss and self-destruction. Instead of giving in to either side, she found herself stuck in a painful limbo.
But rather than turning to alcohol, she turned to poetry. Her writing became a lifeline, a way to process her intense emotions and stay sober. This episode is a raw and honest look at how creativity can be a powerful tool in recovery. Denise's story is a testament to the strength it takes to face your feelings head-on and find healthy ways to cope.
If you're on your own recovery journey, this episode might just inspire you to pick up a pen and start writing. Tune in to hear Denise's heartfelt reflections and discover the healing power of self-expression.
