Awareness, clarity, and then turning it around, can apply to anything that brings on a strong emotion.
Grief can be a daunting companion on the road to sobriety, but Polly found a unique way to handle it. In this episode of the Sobertown Podcast, Polly opens up about her experience with the ACT (Awareness, Clarity, and Turnaround) technique, crafted by Annie Grace of This Naked Mind. Polly's story is one of resilience and transformation as she learns to observe her emotions and respond positively, rather than being overwhelmed by them.
She shares how the ACT technique helped her process the deep sorrow of losing her niece and how it continues to support her through tough times. The technique encourages taking a step back to understand one's feelings and then turning those feelings into positive actions. For Polly, this meant helping her sister-in-law and finding small joys in everyday moments, like a simple walk or a stranger's smile.
Polly also discusses the Alcohol Experiment, a program that incorporates the ACT technique and aims to change the way people view alcohol. Her journey is a testament to the power of awareness and clarity in overcoming emotional hurdles. Polly's insights offer hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with grief or other intense emotions in their recovery journey. Tune in to hear how she turned her pain into purpose and found joy in sobriety.
