Writing about the hard things is so worth it to me, because there's almost always a lot of positive feedback. We as sober people, we as humans, whatever trauma you've been through, it is really hard and sometimes I really like that adage of like you're bleeding on the page, like I really feel bad.
Have you ever felt the weight of expectations from being a first-generation child? Irina Gonzalez knows this all too well. In this episode of Sober Company, hosts Nik and Lacey sit down with Irina to discuss her unique journey through addiction, mental health struggles, and the pressures of being first-generation. Diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, Irina opens up about her time in rehab and how it shaped her path to sobriety.
She also shares her experience of being pregnant during the pandemic and how her recovery journey provided the resilience she needed. The conversation takes a deep dive into the often-overlooked pressures that first-generation children face and how these can affect mental health. Irina offers practical coping mechanisms and emphasizes the importance of writing about tough experiences as a way to heal. She wraps up with a message of solidarity, reminding everyone that they're not alone in their struggles.
Tune in for an episode filled with candid insights and heartfelt advice.
