Getting the alcohol out of my system has helped. It's so nice every once in a while to realize that I'm so not the same anxious person that I was Five Years Ago.
Imagine feeling trapped in a cycle of anxiety, self-doubt, and alcohol. Lisa Bennett, author of 'My Unfurling: Emerging from the Grip of Anxiety, Self-Doubt, and Drinking', knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Alcohol Tipping Point', Lisa sits down with host Deb Masner to share her transformative journey from gray area drinking to a life of sobriety.
After years of battling with moderation, Lisa made the brave decision to quit alcohol altogether, leading to profound changes in her life. She opens up about how she managed to prioritize her mental and physical health, especially while caring for elderly parents. Lisa's story is not just about quitting drinking; it's about overcoming self-doubt and anxiety, and finding the strength to put oneself first.
The conversation also touches on her experience with self-publishing and offers practical advice for others who want to share their stories. Throughout the episode, Deb and Lisa discuss the stigma around asking for help and how to navigate the fears that come with change. They use relatable analogies and metaphors to describe the emotional rollercoaster of sobriety and the challenges of dealing with OCD tendencies and the fear of death.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone seeking inspiration and encouragement on their own journey to sobriety. Tune in for an honest and heartfelt discussion that might just change your perspective on what it means to live a fulfilling, alcohol-free life.
