I had to start thinking of myself as this really vulnerable person who was almost the way we view a patient who is sick. I started to look at myself in that light so that I could start to treat myself with a little more compassion and not get so easily frustrated with myself.
Beth Hampton’s story is one of resilience and transformation. When her marriage ended, she turned to alcohol as a way to numb the pain. But her struggles didn’t start or end there. Beth also faced challenges with disordered eating and had to constantly be mindful of her relationship with food and exercise. This episode of 'Rooted Recovery Stories' dives into Beth's journey of confronting these negative coping mechanisms and finding healthier ways to manage her emotions.
She opens up about the importance of viewing herself with compassion and vulnerability, something she initially found difficult. Beth highlights the significance of staying connected with people who have faced similar battles, emphasizing that no one should have to go through recovery alone. Her story is filled with practical advice on grounding techniques and the necessity of support systems.
If you’re looking for an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity, Beth’s experiences offer valuable insights and hope for anyone dealing with addiction and unhealthy coping strategies.
