It's this constant rollercoaster of emotions which maybe is what I'm seeking out, because I don't get that from benders anymore, but I get it from a sport, like a lot of people in the book seem to be pressure testing themselves.
Ever wondered how a teenage experiment with alcohol can lead to a life dedicated to sobriety advocacy? In this episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged', hosts Sharon Hartley, Freddie, and Ben Anderson chat with the dynamic Jenny Valentish. Jenny's journey began at just 13 when she discovered her dad's alcohol cabinet, leading to years of heavy drinking until she turned 34.
Now, with eight years of sobriety under her belt, Jenny shares her story and the insights from her latest book, 'Everything Harder Than Everyone Else'. Jenny's career is nothing short of impressive. She has written for major publications like Rolling Stone, NME, and Time Out, and authored notable works including her memoir 'Woman of Substances'.
But it's not just her writing that makes her stand out; Jenny is also an ambassador for Monash University’s Brain & Mental Health Laboratory and a board director for SMART Recovery Australia. Her multifaceted approach to sobriety offers a unique perspective on addiction and recovery. Throughout the episode, the hosts and Jenny delve into the complexities of addiction, the challenges of staying sober, and the importance of finding a recovery path that works for you.
They discuss various disciplines and options available to those in recovery, highlighting that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. The conversation is candid, compassionate, and packed with practical advice for anyone on their own sobriety journey. If you're looking for an authentic discussion about addiction and recovery, filled with personal anecdotes and expert insights, this episode is a must-listen. Jenny Valentish's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative impact of living an alcohol-free life.
