In my recovery, I'm learning to identify these triggers. You know what sets me off, and also I'm able to realize this is exactly when I used to drink.
How often do we hear people openly discuss their mental health struggles alongside their journey to sobriety? In this episode of Soberoso, host Dora Gosselin bravely shares her personal battles with mental health and how they intertwine with her path to recovery. As someone who found it easier to admit to being an alcoholic than to talk about her mental health, Dora offers a raw and honest perspective that many can relate to.
This episode is particularly timely as it aligns with Mental Health Awareness Month, urging listeners to be mindful of their mental well-being and to check in on loved ones. Dora dives deep into the significance of self-awareness in identifying triggers and combating negative self-talk. She stresses the importance of structure and routine in maintaining sobriety, sharing how a recent move disrupted her own routine and led to a challenging period.
By highlighting these personal experiences, Dora underscores the idea that routines can act as a form of self-care, providing much-needed stability during times of stress or change. The conversation also tackles the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction. Dora’s candidness about her struggles aims to break down these barriers, encouraging listeners to seek help and support.
She emphasizes that understanding one’s triggers is vital for lasting recovery, as the patterns that lead to addiction often overlap with those affecting mental health. By being self-aware and reaching out for help, individuals can break free from these cycles. Throughout the episode, Dora’s vulnerability creates a safe space for listeners to reflect on their own experiences. She champions the power of community support in recovery, reminding us all that we’re not alone in our struggles.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that seeking help is a strength, not a weakness, and that self-awareness and routine can be powerful tools in achieving sobriety.
