I've come to the terminology- that I'm like a poly substance, that it was more about getting high or not having to live in the reality of the world, rather than a specific substance that I was addicted to is more just like I need something.
Ever wondered what it's like to navigate a decade of sobriety? In this episode of 'Soberland', Lindsay Cowan sits down with her friend Duncan, who shares his compelling story of almost 11 years without substances. From the highs and lows of poly substance addiction to the freedom and challenges of attending weddings sober, Duncan opens up about his transformative journey.
He recounts the allure of substance use during his college years and the daunting task of breaking free from that cycle. Declaring himself an addict brought a strange comfort, knowing he wouldn't return to those habits, yet the idea of 'forever' remained intimidating. Duncan also delves into the reality of blackouts and the crucial steps he took to regain control over his life.
But it's not all serious - there's humor in how he celebrates his sobriety anniversaries and his fascination with reality TV. This episode is a blend of heartfelt honesty and light-hearted moments, offering listeners a relatable and engaging perspective on long-term sobriety.
