But I really truly felt that experience of continuously letting myself down and continuously disappointing myself and being unable to keep promises to myself, and I think there's a lot to be said about what that does to your self-worth and how you feel inside.
Have you ever felt trapped in a cycle of drinking, self-loathing, and trying to moderate? In this episode of 'Sober Stories', host Beth Bowen sits down with Gill Tietz, the mind behind the Sober Powered podcast, to share her raw and honest journey to sobriety. Gill's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about understanding the science behind addiction and using that knowledge to break free from the shackles of shame and self-doubt.
As a biochemist, Gill approached her drinking problem like an experiment, meticulously studying how alcohol affects the brain and why it leads to addiction. Her insights are both enlightening and empowering, offering listeners a unique perspective on the science of sobriety. Gill opens up about her darkest moments, including her struggles with suicidal thoughts and negative self-talk, and how these experiences pushed her to make a life-changing decision.
She also shares the pivotal moment on a cruise vacation that made her realize she could never drink 'normally'. This episode is a testament to the power of self-awareness and the importance of understanding our coping mechanisms. If you're curious about the intersection of science and sobriety, or if you're looking for inspiration to start your own journey, this conversation with Gill Tietz is a must-listen.
