As much as I've used, like drugs and alcohol in the past, I use traveling as a way to escape or try to escape myself and try to escape my problems.
Ever felt like running away from your problems? Abi did just that, but her journey took her around the world with a suitcase full of alcohol and drugs. In this compelling episode of 'Generation SOS: ON RECORD', Abi opens up about her tumultuous life, from growing up with an abusive father and emotionally distant mother to using travel as a means to escape her emotional pain.
She candidly discusses how British culture normalized her drinking habits, making it easier for her to fall deeper into addiction. As Abi's alcoholism worsened, she turned to drugs, hoping they would fill the void. It wasn't until she hit rock bottom and moved to New York with her boyfriend that she decided to take control of her life. Abi's path to sobriety wasn't easy; it involved seeking out a supportive community, practicing yoga and meditation, and focusing on mindfulness.
She emphasizes the importance of connecting with oneself and warns against the dangers of trying to face sobriety alone. This episode isn't just about the struggles; it's about the resilience and hope that come with recovery. Abi's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far you run, you can't escape yourself. But with the right tools and support, you can find your way back.
Tune in to hear Abi's raw and unfiltered account of her journey from addiction to sobriety, and gain a fresh perspective on the importance of community and self-care in recovery.
