When you're drinking alcohol, all you're drinking is liquid anxiety.
Ever wondered what it's like to take on a monumental challenge while navigating the ups and downs of recovery? Meet Person Irresponsible, affectionately known as PI, who joins the 'Alcohol Tipping Point' podcast to share her extraordinary story. In her fourth year of sobriety, PI embarked on a solo hike of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), a daunting trek from the Mexican border to Canada.
This wasn't just any hike; it was a transformative journey filled with fear, loneliness, hunger, exhaustion, and pain. But along the way, PI found redemption, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not a destination but an ongoing journey requiring patience, humility, and support. Initially turning to AA because she didn't know other options, PI discovered a community that helped her cope with anxiety and emotions.
Hiking became her way of challenging herself, connecting with nature, and gaining a new perspective on life. Despite her self-proclaimed love for sofa surfing, PI proved to herself that she was capable of much more than she ever imagined. Her journey on the PCT is a testament to the resilience and strength found in each step taken towards recovery.
Through PI's candid storytelling, listeners are reminded that recovery is about more than just giving up alcohol—it's about embracing new ways of living and thriving. It's about facing fears, discovering strengths, and connecting with others in meaningful ways. As PI says, 'This too shall pass', highlighting the importance of acknowledging and accepting our emotions. If you're seeking inspiration, motivation, or just some heartfelt company, this episode is a must-listen. PI's adventure might just spark your own journey of rediscovery.
