Every day I renew that choice and to me that is the opposite of powerlessness, that is an energy source of power and hope.
Feeling under the weather can be a strange experience when you're sober. In this episode of 'Show Up and Stay', DeAnn Knighton dives into the quirky and often challenging path of learning to trust yourself during recovery. Ever wondered how something as simple as being sick can remind you of your addiction? DeAnn shares a retro narrative from October 2020, recounting a time they accidentally took too much Benadryl and how it became a surprising lesson in self-trust.
Alongside some nostalgic references to Cathy comics, this episode blends humor and heartfelt reflections to tackle serious topics like setbacks in isolation, self-acceptance, and integrating your past self with your new, sober identity. DeAnn also touches on the role of dopamine in the addicted brain and the importance of re-parenting yourself.
Whether you're dealing with cravings, triggers, or just trying to love the person you used to be, this episode offers a mix of personal stories and practical advice to help you on your journey. Tune in for an honest, relatable, and sometimes funny look at what it means to truly trust yourself in recovery.
