And, like you say, you know, trauma doesn't have to begin with a capital t. Actually the way our, our brains form, um, and our relationship to the coping mechanisms we build in our life, um, all make sense at some point, uh, and we hang on to those things, even if they don't make sense for us anymore.
Picture this: you're living a typical young adult life, enjoying nights out and social drinks, when suddenly a health scare turns your world upside down. That's Callum's story. In this episode of 'Sober Stories from Everyday People', Terry, also known as the sassy sober mum on Instagram, sits down with Callum from London.
Four and a half years into his sobriety journey, Callum, an actor and musician, opens up about how a hospital visit and a bleak prognosis forced him to reevaluate his relationship with alcohol. His candidness and relatability make this conversation truly engaging. Callum talks about his early years with alcohol, the scare that pushed him to quit, and the incredible transformation that followed.
You'll hear about the challenges he faced, from dealing with emotions head-on to finding new ways to cope. Cold water therapy and exercise became key parts of his recovery, and he emphasizes the importance of community in staying sober. Terry and Callum dive deep into how trauma shapes our coping mechanisms, with Terry noting that "trauma doesn't have to begin with a capital t".
This episode isn't just about Callum's past; it's about the vibrant, fulfilling life he's built since quitting alcohol. It's a story of resilience and hope that will resonate with anyone on their own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear how Callum turned a dire situation into a journey of strength and happiness.
