Embracing Self-Love in Sobriety: Brandi's Journey
Life means that if we are working in recovery and we are working on changing ourselves, that we have to take the good times and the bad and we have to love ourselves despite them, because I can't choose to love myself on A Good Day when everything is easy, and hate myself on a day that I ate three cupcakes and wanted to punch myself in the face just so that I didn't have to hear my son coughing.
Brandi, the voice behind the 'Sober as $#@! Podcast', opens up about her path to sobriety in this heartfelt episode. She dives into the challenges of confronting triggers, managing stress, and silencing that inner critic we all know too well. Through her candid storytelling, Brandi underscores the vital role of self-love, especially on those tough days when it feels like the world is against you.
One of the standout moments in this episode is Brandi's discussion on the empowering act of saying no to alcohol. She explains how each refusal builds a stronger sense of self-confidence and reinforces your commitment to a sober life. But it's not all about the struggles; Brandi also shares practical tips for personal growth, like creating a gratitude list and then burning it (if you feel like it!) to release your intentions into the universe.
This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about embracing every part of yourself, the good and the bad, and moving forward with grace and resilience. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned veteran, Brandi's insights offer a comforting reminder that self-love is a journey worth taking.
