Sobertown Podcast

Something strange started to happen to MMC13 in her pre-teen years; the whole world suddenly became a barrage on her senses; sounds were too loud, sights were overwhelming, and there seemed to be no reason for it. The condition led her to isolation and misery through much of her teenage and young adult life, and likely played a part in her early drinking as a coping mechanism. Fast-forward 20 years, and the condition(s) finally have names! Misophonia and Misokinesia, which literally translate to mean 'hatred of sound', and 'hatred of movement'. Join us as she explains what these conditions are, how they affected her, and why she believes they're much more common than we realize.   Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.

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.   Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.

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💚.   Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.

Diet, Vitamins, exercise and Supplements Positive 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💖🙋🏻‍♀️ My communities are:  www.Sobertownpodcast.com  I Am Sober - Corinna Dotty Pot currently at 600 days  Instagram @canamgirluk YouTube: Positive Living with Sobriety and Disability (link in my Instagram bio)    Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.
