Wanting to be liked by others is just a symptom of the desire to be in control, because deep down you feel powerless or worthless, and this is why people-pleasing is so exhausting.
Ever felt like you’re living for others rather than yourself? In this episode of 'Recovery Happy Hour', host Tricia Lewis sits down with Nick, who opens up about his struggle with people-pleasing and addiction. Nick reveals how his need to please others led him down a path of alcohol abuse, using it as a crutch to cope with the pressures and expectations he placed on himself.
He discusses the heavy stigma of being labeled an 'alcoholic' and how distancing himself from that label was crucial in his recovery journey. Nick’s story takes a fascinating turn as he talks about his exploration of ayahuasca, a powerful plant medicine, which he initially sought for healing. However, it was the deep, introspective work and embracing a spiritual approach to recovery that truly set him free.
Now sober, Nick finds joy in genuine happiness and navigates the complexities of relationships without relying on alcohol. His journey is a testament to personal growth, shedding negative labels, and finding true healing from within. Tune in to hear Nick’s inspiring story and discover how he transformed his life by looking inward.
