The more sober I get and the more I'm around people that talk like that, it pisses me off because I take that very personal. It was something that kept me stuck in my alcohol use disorder.
Imagine spending five years trying to control your drinking, only to realize that moderation is an endless struggle. In this episode of 'The Sober Effect', hosts Kate and Steph chat with Suze, a member of the Instagram sober community, who shares her exhausting journey of attempting to moderate her alcohol consumption.
Suze’s candid recounting of her experiences reveals the often ridiculous ‘negotiations’ we make with ourselves to limit drinking, and how these can lead to even darker places mentally and emotionally. The conversation dives deep into the mental gymnastics and emotional toll that come with trying to set rules around alcohol. Suze talks about the anxiety and psychological damage she faced, making it clear that moderation can sometimes be more tormenting than quitting altogether.
Kate and Steph, along with Suze, emphasize the importance of self-reflection and understanding the true impact of alcohol in one's life. They challenge listeners to question what value alcohol really brings. The episode wraps up with a powerful message of liberation and hope. Suze's transformation and newfound happiness serve as an inspiration for those considering a life free from the burden of alcohol.
By sharing their personal stories and insights, 'The Sober Effect' continues to offer a supportive and honest platform for anyone navigating sobriety and recovery.
