It's so important to be open-minded in the recovery community and open-minded with your own life and the people in your life who, as people, grow and change around you.
What if you don’t see yourself as an alcoholic but still feel the need to quit drinking? Hayley Mae’s story on The Addictive Pod tackles just that. Diagnosed with a rare genetic condition at 15, Hayley turned to alcohol to escape her reality. This episode sheds light on her journey from using alcohol as a crutch to embracing a sober life, all without identifying as an alcoholic or addict.
Hayley’s experience speaks volumes to those who engage in addictive behaviors mildly yet feel the negative impacts on their lives. She shares how a month-long experiment of being alcohol-free led her to a life-changing realization: sobriety was the key to her happiness and mental health. Beyond her personal story, Hayley discusses the importance of understanding different perspectives in the recovery community.
Whether you consider yourself an addict or not, her insights on socializing without alcohol and the power of online communities are eye-opening. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about living a sober life or supporting others on their recovery journey. Tune in for a refreshing perspective on sobriety, self-discovery, and the significance of open-mindedness.
