When I was drinking, I judged people for not drinking. And now that I'm not drinking, I'm not judging people for drinking, but I highly encourage them to look at why they're doing it and make sure that they're not abusing it or themselves.
Imagine getting sober at just 24 years old. Laura Silverman did exactly that and has now been sober for over a decade. In this episode of TDH Voice, Laura opens up about her journey, from the challenges of maintaining a social life without alcohol to battling imposter syndrome. Laura, the voice behind The Sobriety Collective, shares her candid experiences of being a young person in recovery and how she found her footing in a world that often revolves around drinking.
Laura's story is filled with relatable moments. She talks about the relief she felt when she first had a beer, how it made her feel less constrained by her OCD and anxiety. But she also dives into the reality of recovery, emphasizing the importance of mental health and self-care. Laura discusses how joining a karaoke group helped her enjoy social activities without the pressure to drink and why it's crucial not to judge others for their choices.
Imposter syndrome is another significant theme in Laura's narrative. She admits to feeling like a fraud at times, questioning her worth because she doesn't have a traditional job or degree. However, she's learned to focus on her achievements with The Sobriety Collective and the positive impact she's making. Her advice? Find a support group, be honest with yourself, and don't beat yourself up over setbacks. Laura's insights are both inspiring and practical.
She encourages listeners to seek help if they need it and to avoid using language that trivializes mental health issues. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, Laura's story offers valuable lessons on resilience, self-acceptance, and the power of community.
