Self-Compassion and Sobriety: Patrick's Journey with John and Judi

If we are in a defensive posture all the time and don't know how to parent ourselves and give ourselves compassion, you're going to surround yourself with coping mechanisms like alcohol or ill behaviors or codependency, and it's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Ever wondered how self-compassion can transform your sobriety journey? In this episode of 'Sober Mind', John and Judi Lund sit down with their close friend Patrick, a recovering alcoholic married to a sober partner. Together, they dive into the nitty-gritty of their personal experiences with alcoholism, codependency, and mental health struggles. Patrick shares his wisdom on how self-compassion has been a game-changer for him, offering practical advice that could resonate with anyone facing similar challenges.
The conversation isn't just about staying sober; it's about understanding the unique paths we all take and finding what truly works for each individual. They also touch on behavioral-driven thinking, the concept of 'foreboding joy', and the importance of self-parenting. If you're looking for heartfelt stories and actionable insights, this episode is a must-listen. Join them for a candid discussion that promises to inspire and offer hope.
