Alcoholism is an epidemic that is growing and there's no cure that's really effective at this point in bringing the numbers down and a decline in alcoholism is because it's so widely misunderstood.
Ever wondered how books can be a lifeline during the tough early days of sobriety? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Matt Salis introduces the SHOUT Sobriety program, designed to guide individuals and their families through the stormy seas of early recovery. The first week of this six-week journey focuses on bibliotherapy, or reading as a therapeutic tool. Matt opens up about his own battle with alcoholism, sharing the mental hurdles he faced before embracing sobriety.
He highlights how establishing a reading routine helped him navigate the challenging 'witching hour' - those difficult moments when cravings hit hardest. Matt recommends must-reads like 'This Naked Mind' by Annie Grace and 'Drinking: A Love Story' by Caroline Knapp, which offer invaluable insights and support. He also emphasizes the importance of community, pointing to the private Facebook group for SHOUT Sobriety participants as a source of encouragement and solidarity.
Whether you're struggling with alcohol yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt stories to help you on your journey to a healthier, sober life.
