I think that as we progress and as we heal and grow and we feel like we're getting, we're figuring ourselves out and we're so self-aware, we almost feel like overwhelmed by the pressure of having to have it all figured out.
Ever felt like you're living a double life, holding it together during the week and letting loose on the weekends? Andrea from Inspo Nation knows that story all too well. In this episode of Soberoso, she sits down with host Dora to share her journey from binge drinking and drugging to finding sobriety and peace.
Andrea opens up about the mindset of a 'weekend warrior', where the cycle of responsibility during the week gives way to chaotic weekends filled with parties and substance use. It's a life many can relate to, feeling the need to escape reality but not wanting to face it alone. Andrea and Dora dive deep into their personal battles with trauma, PTSD, and anxiety, discussing how these struggles often lead to survival modes like fight or flight.
Andrea reveals some of the techniques she's found helpful, including EFT Tapping, which she used to calm her social anxiety before this very recording. They also touch on the shared experience of having mental breakdowns and how common it is, reminding us that no one is truly alone in their struggles. With candid conversations and practical tips, this episode offers a raw look at the journey from addiction to recovery.
Andrea's story is both relatable and inspiring, providing hope and guidance for anyone facing similar challenges. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen for its honesty and heartfelt advice.
