Intimacy and Sobriety: Real Talk with Cindi Roberts and Rebekah Rose Wall

Intimacy is not just about the deed, it's about the mindset.
Sex and sobriety might seem like an unusual pairing, but for many, it's a vital conversation that's often swept under the rug. In this episode of 'Recovery Hour', Lori Windfeldt dives into this essential topic with sexual health educator Cindi Roberts and mindfulness practitioner Rebekah Rose Wall. Cindi, who found her path to recovery in 2016, opens up about her struggle with the silence around sex in the recovery community.
She wondered why women weren't discussing their bedroom confidence without alcohol's crutch. Her curiosity led to more women sharing their experiences, revealing a common thread of concern and fear regarding intimacy in sobriety. Cindi's approach is all about future-focused conversations, acknowledging past struggles while guiding her clients through the tough stuff with honesty and positivity. She emphasizes that talking openly about sex can be a powerful tool in recovery.
On the other hand, Rebekah brings mindfulness into the mix, offering a fresh perspective on how being present can redefine intimacy. She discusses how mindfulness practices can help individuals navigate their intimate relationships more consciously and authentically. This episode doesn't shy away from the tough questions. It addresses the stigma around sex and sobriety, encouraging listeners to break the silence and seek support.
Cindi and Rebekah share their personal journeys, providing valuable insights into how redefining intimacy and incorporating mindfulness can improve relationships and overall well-being. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a compassionate look at an often-overlooked aspect of sobriety. Tune in to hear how open dialogue and mindful practices can transform your approach to intimacy.
