"You hit rock bottom when you stop digging" - a mantra that empowers anyone considering sobriety.
Madeline Forrest dives into the notion of 'rock bottom' in this episode of Happiest Sober Podcast, offering a refreshing perspective that challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding sobriety. Have you ever thought about what your rock bottom looks like? Madeline argues that you don't need to hit the lowest of lows to decide to quit drinking. Instead, she suggests that rock bottom can be a personal emotion or a moment of clarity rather than an external catastrophe.
This episode is packed with anecdotes and wisdom, including Madeline's own story of sobriety, which began not with dramatic consequences but with a growing realisation of the impact alcohol was having on her mental health. You'll hear Madeline talk about the emotional rock bottom she experienced and how recognising it allowed her to make a change before things spiralled further.
She shares powerful mantras like 'rock bottom is when you stop digging' and 'you don't need to wait for your house to be in flames to put out the fire'. These are meant to inspire listeners to take control and make changes before reaching a point of no return. Madeline also touches on the societal pressure to have a dramatic rock bottom story and encourages everyone to embrace their own journey, however it unfolds.
The episode is both compassionate and empowering, providing a supportive space for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol. It's an invitation to redefine what rock bottom means to you and to find strength in making proactive choices. If you're pondering whether your drinking habits warrant change, or if you're simply seeking validation for your sober journey, Madeline's thoughtful discussion offers encouragement and insight. Don't wait for disaster; listen in and find your own path to sobriety.
