As parents or caregivers, it can seem impossible to even consider taking a break for self-care, but, as author Rosemary O'Connor explains, it's not only beneficial to show yourself some compassion, it's necessary.
Parenting during a pandemic is tough, but being a sober mom adds another layer of complexity. In this episode of Recovery Road, host William Moyers shares an insightful excerpt from Rosemary O'Connor's 'A Sober Mom's Guide to Recovery'. O'Connor dives into the unique struggles faced by sober mothers during these challenging times, emphasizing the crucial need for self-compassion and effective self-care strategies.
She candidly discusses how the pressure to do it all can lead to exhaustion and burnout, and offers practical advice on setting boundaries and prioritizing personal well-being. From learning to say no to unnecessary demands to taking that much-needed nap, O'Connor's tips are a lifeline for any mom feeling overwhelmed. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that taking care of yourself isn't just beneficial—it's essential for maintaining sobriety and being the best parent you can be.
