Sobertown Podcast

Regret and Shame Positive Recovery with Corinna In today’s podcast, I talk about these two very strong emotions. We all have them, and at times tend to wallow in them, but it is not a nice place to be. Today I offer some ideas on how to let them go and move on. Keep focusing  on controlling the things you can and not resisting the things you cannot Www.sobertownpodcast.com 🍵🫖☕️💦 Chin Chin💖🙋🏻‍♀️

Peggi Coney Author of "The Other Side of Alcohol"
Peggy did not have a drinking problem until her 50's. Having it all, a beautiful family, two homes and also a dream job teaching social work.  In 2008, Peggi received a service award amongst seventeen hundred  and fifty colleagues and still could not put the drink down.  A drinking incident at a reunion family picnic resulted in her daughter saying "if she wanted a relationship with her family she needed to address this problem".  Peggy was crushed as she valued her family more than she could bear to lose them. Author of The Other Side Of Alcohol, she takes you through her journey and how she turned her life around.  I want the stigma and shame gone, everybody has a valid story and deserves to be heard.  It brings us to where we are today.  Peggi says "you need to constantly forgive yourself".  I could not agree more.  The greatest gift you can give yourself is to pour the poison down the sink!

SoberSeedling was a good Christian, conservative, straight A student who at a young age was addicted to perfectionism.  She attended a Christian College, became a Middle School theatre teacher, still performs today as a singer and works for a brewing company.  
After a failed marriage, she simultaneously falls apart and blossoms.  Unhealthy relationship patterning leads to domestic violence, as she continues attempting to “fix or save” her partners, while neglecting herself.  Her self worth is crushed and her 'identity' questioned, ultimately feeding a growing addiction to alcohol.  Her story is one of hope and resilience.
A huge empath, she holds space for everyone and is practicing doing the same for herself.  The way she expresses and writes with such honesty will certainly help other victims of domestic violence before it could be too late.  And please if you think this may be you, see professional help and pour the poison down the sink.

MMC13 remembers thinking at the early age of twenty that she may have an issue with alcohol. Adopted to a loving couple she recalls a normal childhood until her teenage years presented challenges being bullied so she starting drinking to "fit in" like so many teenagers do. Diagnosed with Misophobia & Misokinesia (hatred of certain sounds & movements), MMC explains her high sensitivity.  She works her sobriety and accumulates seven and a half years.  Her passion for seven family furries and 'rescues' and we both agree that giving back in community fills our souls. Thoughts of moderation pass through and she finds herself at that pivotal moment when it's you or alcohol. Only ONE will win.  A fascinating listen where I learnt so much.  Thank you MM13.
On a personal note..I lost my friend Karl yesterday and dedicate this podcast to him and his beautiful partner Debbie & his children Cody and Tahlia.  See you on the other side mate💚.

Diet, Vitamins, exercise and SupplementsPositive Recovery with Corinna In recovery, we start to realize just how much we let nearly every area of our life go. How we stopped looking after ourselves and meeting even some of our basic needs. We know sobriety isn’t just putting down the drink, although that can actually help with nutrition. But, like everything else, we have to work it. In today’s podcast, I look at different types of diet, cross addiction, exercise and Craig Becks suggested vitamin regime to help quit alcohol Keep focusing  on controlling the things you can and not resisting the things you cannot Www.sobertownpodcast.com 🍵🫖☕️💦 Chin Chin💖🙋🏻‍♀️

April is Child Abuse Awareness month, and the connections between abuse and alcohol are many. In Episode 10 of the Rewired podcast, Rai joins Julie and Steve for a second time, where she courageously shares her own story of childhood abuse, and explains how through self compassion, and compassion for the people in her life, she was able to work through long-held resentments. In doing so, she was able to recover from her own addiction to alcohol.

King13 and GRIEF
Grief is how the brain processes loss, however, it does not process emotions in any particular order, intensity or time. Like sobriety, grief is a very personal experience.  You have to learn to navigate and self manage.  Also important is we have to process and 'feel' grief and what to do with it.  Listen to the experience from our IAS friends, Squirrel Monkey, Break_ground and Polly.

Sobertown is a growing community of like-minded people in recovery helping others start or maintain their sobriety.We refer to ourselves as “Sober Warriors” because the fight against addiction is a grisly battle that takes no prisoners. Real people die every day from complications and repercussions of long-term alcohol use, a tragic end that is 100% preventable through increased awareness and connection.Alcohol is so pervasive and normalized in our culture that it often gets a free pass into our lives when it’s really a cancer-causing drug that can slowly wreak havoc on all states of our well-being: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, vocational, and intellectual.But we’re not here simply to shine a light on alcohol’s ugly side. We’re forming a village of sober individuals from all walks of life that share a common goal - to support others in recovery while also increasing the dialogue around the many positive aspects of sobriety versus the darkness of addiction.
