"You're not broken, you're healing. Emotions aren't your enemy—they're signals."
In this episode of 'Genuine Life Recovery', Jodie Stevens takes you on a journey through the emotional whirlwind of early sobriety. If you've ever felt like your emotions are a clown car bursting at the seams, you're not alone. Jodie, who is celebrating nearly 20 years of sobriety, shares her personal experiences and insights into managing emotions without reaching for that numbing agent.
This episode isn't just about putting down the bottle; it's about picking up the pieces and understanding the emotional chaos that follows. Jodie draws from both biblical wisdom and clinical strategies to offer tools for those tough early days. She explains how emotions, like uninvited guests, show up when the numbing substances are gone. The trick is not to slam the door in their faces but to learn to live with them.
Jodie delves into the concept of 'surfing the emotion', riding the waves of feelings rather than drowning in them. She also highlights the importance of naming emotions as a way to take control. With humour and compassion, she reassures you that you're not broken—you're healing. Throughout the episode, Jodie emphasises the power of community, routine, and avoiding 'slippery people and places'.
With a mix of therapeutic practices and scripture, she offers a roadmap to not just survive but thrive in sobriety. So, why not listen and find out how you can transform your emotional chaos into clarity?
