I need to love myself in order to love myself? And in that process, alcohol was definitely not serving me.
Ever wondered how cultural patterns and trauma can shape our relationship with alcohol? In this episode of 'How I Got Sober', Julie Comeau chats with Barbara Lima, the dynamic founder of The Weave magazine. Barbara's story is one of resilience and transformation, growing up in a culture where drinking was the norm and learning to break free from those expectations.
She dives into her personal battles with addiction, the trauma that fueled it, and the cultural influences that made it seem normal. But this isn't just about the struggles; it's about the triumphs too. Barbara shares the tools that helped her heal, from self-awareness practices to the profound impact of ayahuasca. She talks about the importance of setting intentions, practicing self-compassion, and accepting oneself as a crucial part of recovery.
Through her journey, Barbara has discovered that sobriety isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's a path to self-love and better care for others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the liberating power of sobriety.
