How I quit alcohol

237. Grieving your past self in sobriety solo-cast.

In this solocast, I explore the emotional journey of grieving the old self in sobriety. As we embark on the path to becoming a better version of ourselves, it’s natural to feel a sense of loss for the person we used to be. This episode delves into the complexities of this grieving process, acknowledging the pain and confusion that often accompanies it.

I dig into how to honour and let go of the past, while embracing and celebrating the new you. Learn how to navigate this transformative phase with compassion and patience. Discover the importance of self-reflection and the role it plays in personal growth. Tune in for insights on the emotional aspects of grieving your old self, practical tips for embracing the new you, the significance of celebrating your progress, and finding balance between honouring your past and moving forward.

Whether you're new to sobriety or further along in your journey, this episode offers valuable perspectives to help you find peace and strength in your transformation.
