Embracing Imperfection: The Role of Self-Care in Recovery
I just want to remind you that it is ok to not be ok. You can't be ok all the time, especially if you are a caregiver or a service provider, or giving back, like I am, to a community of people that are suffering, of people that are still in addiction and alcoholism.
Ever felt like you're the only one struggling, even when everything seems fine on the surface? In this episode of Soberoso, host Dora Gosselin opens up about her own journey through addiction and recovery. She shares a recent moment where she wasn't feeling her best, despite just enjoying a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with family. This candid reflection dives into the importance of self-care and the reality that not every day is going to be perfect.
Dora emphasizes that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. She highlights the need for self-love and acceptance, and how crucial it is to recognize and address triggers that can affect mental health. By sharing her story, Dora shows the power of vulnerability and the strength found in community support. She reminds us that taking care of ourselves is essential to being there for others and that it's okay to take a break when needed.
