Laurie's Journey: From Conformity to Sobriety on Soberoso
I just was like I was being just over over the line, constantly over the line, and I just um, I just didn't know how to stop it.
Ever wondered how someone transitions from a seemingly perfect life to battling addiction, and then finds their way to sobriety? In this eye-opening episode of Soberoso, host Dora Gosselin chats with Laurie from Laur's World of Sobriety. Laurie grew up in a strict Italian-Catholic home where the mantra 'children should be seen and not heard' was the norm. She spent her early years trying to be the 'good girl' everyone expected her to be.
It wasn't until her thirties that she turned to alcohol and cocaine, seeking the confidence she never felt she had. Now, with nearly 12 years of sobriety under her belt, Laurie opens up about her tumultuous journey and the lessons she's learned along the way. She discusses the pressures of her upbringing, the allure of substances, and the pivotal moments that led her to choose a sober life.
Through her work on Laur's World of Sobriety, Laurie aims to help others navigate their own recovery journeys and break the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health issues. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration, understanding, and a sense of community in their own recovery process.
