I remember feeling that freedom like it's finally out, finally out- this is who I am- and listening to everybody else talking about their chattering mind and it just, I kind of felt like I was finally home, like I was, with the people who could finally understand me.
Pamela P. takes center stage in this episode of Podcast Recovery, opening up about her path to sobriety with hosts David O. and Eric B. She candidly recounts how alcohol began to take a toll on her life, particularly as her children reached high school. Drinking became a way to cope with everything from past traumas to everyday stress, leading to burnout and isolation. Pamela's realization that she had a problem marked the beginning of her transformative journey.
Rehab played a pivotal role in her recovery, offering her a lifeline and a deeper understanding of the underlying issues driving her addiction. She speaks passionately about the freedom she found in recovery and the significance of listening to others share their struggles with the 'chattering mind' of addiction. Honesty and community are cornerstones of her story, as she found an extended family within her recovery network.
Pamela also touches on her experience with non-alcoholic beer, initially overhyped in her mind but ultimately not a significant part of her recovery. Her story is one of resilience, emphasizing the importance of honesty, community support, and the promises of recovery. Tune in to hear Pamela's inspiring journey from isolation to a fulfilling life surrounded by a supportive community.
