Sometimes the way I talk, I catch myself and I hold this judgment. And, like I said, it's kind of hard to look back and be like: wow, my life was that narrow that trapped Every Single Day.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a never-ending loop, living the same day over and over again? Denise Walker captures this feeling perfectly in her poem 'Groundhoggin''. In this episode of the Detox Podcast, Denise opens up about her own struggles with addiction, where every day felt like a repeat of the last—drinking all night and battling hangovers by day.
She describes how this vicious cycle led to neglecting herself and her priorities, making her feel like she was her own last priority. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Denise shares how she broke free from this 'Groundhog Day' scenario and began her journey towards recovery. Through her poetry collection, 'Pick Your Poison', she offers a raw and relatable account of the ups and downs of addiction and recovery.
This episode isn't just about the dark times; it's also about finding strength and joy amidst the struggle. Denise discusses the importance of adult friendships in recovery and emphasizes self-care, highlighting how small acts of kindness towards oneself can make a huge difference. She even touches on the Brighten Rise California Foodie Edition, a unique blend of poetry, meditation, and nutritious food prepared by a private chef specializing in recovery diets.
This episode is a heartfelt, authentic look at addiction and recovery through the lens of poetry, offering listeners both inspiration and practical advice for their own journeys.
