As addicts, we need to always be mindful and working on our mental health, because if not, it's easy to slip back in old habits.
Why do some of us turn to alcohol when life gets tough? In this episode of '12oz of Sobriety', hosts Pat, Robbie, and Carson dive into their personal journeys from social drinking to using alcohol as a means of escape. They explore the underlying reasons that push people towards excessive drinking and share their experiences in breaking free from that cycle.
The trio opens up about different therapeutic approaches, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), that have helped them confront past traumas and maintain mental health in sobriety. They also challenge the societal norms around drinking, offering practical tips on how to enjoy social events without alcohol, like trying out non-alcoholic beverages and mocktails. The hosts emphasize the importance of continuously working on mental health to prevent relapse, encouraging listeners to embrace discomfort as part of their growth journey.
Whether you're in early recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and strategies to help you navigate the path to sobriety.
