In this episode, I share my personal experiences and reflections on sobriety, framing it as a form of self-care. 

There are  multifaceted reasons people choose sobriety, from tackling addictions to spiritual practices or simply feeling better physically and mentally. 

In this episode I  candidly discusses my journey with substances, from experimentation in youth  to periods of sobriety motivated by health and well-being,  to specifically managing an autoimmune disease. 

I try to highlight the nuanced relationship between body, mind, and substance use.   The episode encourages listeners to explore sobriety as an experiment in self-care, whether battling addictions or seeking balance. 

It concludes with an invitation to notice how one's body and nervous system respond to substances, advocating for mindfulness and support in navigating one's path to wellness.

  •  Exploring Sobriety as Self-Care
