I used to go to mom and say: can you just talk dad around? And um yeah, I guess I'll put it down to, he didn't have children of his own in his first marriage.
Ever felt the weight of trying to be perfect? In this episode of Sobertown Podcast, King 13 chats with Ashleybear9 about her battle with addiction and the immense pressure to always appear in control. Ashley opens up about how she was taught that being sensitive was a weakness and how negative emotions were seen as choices. This led her down a path where drinking became her escape from the exhausting facade she felt compelled to maintain.
But it wasn't just about the alcohol; it was about the deeper issues that alcohol highlighted in her life. Together, they delve into the symbolism of birds and the value of being present, discussing how these elements played a crucial role in Ashley's recovery. They also talk about closing mental “bulkheads” and finding joy through vulnerability. Ashley’s story is a testament to the power of self-love and resilience.
Her journey shows that it's possible to break free from addiction by embracing who you truly are and sharing your struggles with others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that reminds us all of the strength found in vulnerability.
