Embracing Change: Discovering Joy and Wellness with Feel Lit 21

A Personal Story: Susan’s Journey to Sobriety

Susan brings a deeply personal perspective to the conversation, recounting her experiences with attempting to moderate or abstain from alcohol since 2017. She shares how, by 2018, her struggles highlighted a deeper alcohol use disorder. Despite initial fears, Susan found immense value in community support, which extended her abstinence well beyond her initial goal.

She delves into the significant improvements she felt in her physical and emotional well-being when she abstained from alcohol. This realization was a major motivating factor in her decision to quit drinking entirely by June 2020.

Visualization and Self-Compassion: Tools for Transformation

An intriguing part of the episode is Susan’s visualization exercise, designed to help participants see the impact of their current path versus a healthier direction. Involving deep breathing, sensory awareness, and contemplating personal goals, this exercise encourages profound self-reflection and goal setting.

Ruby and Susan emphasize the importance of self-compassion throughout this journey. It’s not about rigid adherence but about making thoughtful decisions and experimenting with what works best for each individual.
