I realized that what I needed to do was have that subconscious shift, you know my cognitive dissonance, where I knew that when I drank I felt bad.
What happens when you finally decide to stop letting alcohol shape your identity? Linsey Hydrick knows firsthand. For over a decade, Linsey grappled with alcohol, feeling it dictate who she was and how she lived. Her journey took a turn for the better when she stumbled upon 'Over The Influence' after hearing Sharon Hartley on Annie Grace's podcast. Since then, she's been a dedicated listener, finding solace and strength in the stories shared.
In this episode, Linsey opens up about her path to sobriety, starting from her teenage years when alcohol first caused trouble on a school trip to Europe. She talks about how drinking became a part of the various identities she tried on while growing up. But Linsey is clear on one thing: blame the substance, not the person. She passionately discusses how alcohol, with its addictive nature and aggressive marketing, is the real culprit.
Removing it from her life allowed Linsey to discover her true self, leading to a happiness she wishes she'd found sooner. Now, she's eager to share her story to help others. Linsey's tale is a testament to the power of community and healthy habits in recovery. She reflects on the time she feels was wasted due to alcohol and the joy she's found in new hobbies since becoming sober.
The episode wraps up with an insightful discussion on the word 'alcoholic' and how language can influence the recovery process. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone on their own alcohol-free journey.
