I dove right into it because it was like: oh, okay, this is what's working.
Ever thought about how diverse and personal the journey to sobriety can be? In this episode of Sober Company, hosts Nik and Lacey sit down with Valentine Darling to explore her multifaceted path to recovery. Valentine shares candid stories from her time in the rave and queer bar scenes, where she found a sense of community despite the heavy drug use. She opens up about the challenges of leaving those environments and finding new ways to connect without substances.
Valentine's journey is anything but conventional. She talks about her experiences with 12-step programs, Buddhism, and Tempest—a holistic recovery approach that emphasizes empowerment and personal growth. One of the standout moments in the episode is when Valentine discusses the biopsychosocial model of recovery, explaining how it helped her understand the complex interplay between her mind, body, and social environment. The conversation also delves into the discomfort that often accompanies personal growth.
Valentine explains that while this discomfort can be challenging, it's also a crucial part of the healing process. She shares how Tempest has helped her explore her gender identity and become more comfortable expressing herself. Nik and Lacey wrap up the episode by reflecting on how Valentine's story has inspired them in their own recovery journeys. They discuss the importance of finding what works for you and picking up tools that serve and empower you along the way.
If you're looking for an engaging and informative discussion on modern sobriety, this episode is a must-listen. Valentine Darling's unique journey offers valuable insights into the many paths to recovery and the importance of self-discovery and empowerment.
