I know, hands down, I wouldn't be able to recover from the eating disorder if I had kept drinking like I had tried and I couldn't do it. But in terms of social media, yeah, it's a. It's a good point you raised, because just before I went travelling and realised I needed to get sober. Pretty much was me drunk or high and I just thought: or partying.
Picture this: a young woman from the UK, now living a vibrant, drug and alcohol-free life in New Zealand. That's Rosie. In this episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged', hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Rosie to uncover her incredible journey of breaking free from addiction and overcoming eating disorders. Rosie opens up about her past struggles, where her weekends were dominated by alcohol and her weekdays by restrictive eating and over-exercising.
She believed she needed to maintain a 'party girl' figure to fit in, a mindset that took a heavy toll on her mental and physical health. Rosie's story doesn't just stop at sobriety; it delves into the intertwined nature of alcohol abuse and eating disorders. She explains how she used to save up calories for drinking, a dangerous cycle that fed both her addictions.
The episode also touches on the pressures of social media, which often glamorizes the party lifestyle, making it even harder to break free. Rosie's candid discussion includes her experiences with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and how Buddhist practices have helped her on her path to recovery. She highlights the importance of self-awareness and constant personal growth in maintaining sobriety.
If you're curious about the real-life challenges and triumphs of someone who has walked the path of recovery, this episode offers a raw, honest look at the struggles and victories that come with choosing an alcohol-free life.
