I felt a sense of relief, you know, a little bit of natural anxiety. Like, well, I hope I don't regret doing that.
In this episode of Sobriety Uncensored, Daniel and Jenna tackle the liberating experience of deleting TikTok. Daniel shares his journey of letting go of the social media platform, explaining how it had become a source of anxiety rather than joy. Both hosts reflect on the positive impact sober TikTok had on their recovery but also acknowledge the obsessive behaviours and desire for acceptance that can come with social media use.
They dive into the importance of setting boundaries in recovery, using Daniel's decision as a prime example. Jenna admires Daniel's bold move and contemplates her own relationship with social media, highlighting the constant struggle to maintain a healthy balance. The conversation touches on how social media can mimic the role of alcohol in providing a false sense of belonging and validation.
Daniel's story is a testament to the need for boundaries and the courage to make changes that support mental health. If you're looking for a relatable and candid discussion on the challenges of social media in sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
