Living in Integrity: The Honest Path to Recovery
I think that going through that experience has actually sharpened the contours of what I know I want and what I don't want, and what I am willing to do and not do and put up with and not put up with because I had to work so hard to choose my real self every day, over time.
What does it mean to live with integrity, especially when you're on the road to recovery? This episode of The Hangover Liberation Society, hosted by Adrienne van der Valk and Erin Ranta, takes a deep dive into this very question. Adrienne and Erin reflect on their past selves with compassion, discussing how they once struggled to maintain integrity while hiding and minimizing their drinking habits.
They challenge the idea that having a substance use disorder means you're not living in integrity, and debunk the myth that alcohol acts as a 'truth serum'. In a candid and heartfelt discussion, they explore how recovery has influenced their sense of integrity and share personal stories of striving to live honestly. The episode features this week's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip, which encourages listeners to get radically honest—a task that's tougher than it sounds.
Erin also leads a refreshing stretch designed to keep your hips and legs in alignment, emphasizing the importance of physical well-being in recovery. If you're tired of the BS and ready for some real talk about living a zero-proof lifestyle, this episode is for you. It's packed with practical advice, somatic practices, and nutritional tips to support you on your journey.
Tune in to hear how embracing your true self can lead to a more fulfilling life and learn why nuance and compassion are essential in recovery narratives. As Adrienne and Erin show, living in integrity is not just about abstaining from alcohol; it's about transforming your entire life.
