The only thing that's going to work for me...is not picking up the first drink.
Ever wondered if harm reduction could be the answer to managing your addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of '2 Sober Chicks', Lisa and Julie tackle this very question. Harm reduction is a strategy aimed at lessening the negative impacts of substance abuse without insisting on complete abstinence. But is it the right approach for everyone? Lisa and Julie don't think so, especially for those grappling with alcoholism.
They share their personal stories of trying to moderate their drinking through methods like scheduling drinks and keeping tabs on their intake, only to find these attempts falling short. Their candid discussion highlights the crucial distinction between heavy drinking and alcoholism, emphasizing that recognizing the difference is key to effective recovery. The episode doesn't just stop at personal anecdotes; it dives into the concept of 'alcoholic thinking' and why controlling drinking can be a monumental challenge once you start.
Lisa and Julie passionately argue that abstinence is the only sure path to overcoming addiction. They also touch on the spiritual aspects of recovery, sharing how connecting with a higher power has been transformative in their own journeys. If you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Lisa and Julie encourage listeners to seek help and support, stressing that the first step towards sobriety is often the hardest but most crucial one.
