From Hell to Wellness

Uncertainty is the root of fear.

It's also been the big theme of our current time with quarantine and a global pandemic.

Most people can become consumed by uncertainty, which drives them to become fearful. 

As recovering alcoholics and addicts, Kaila and Kiki discuss how sobriety has actually reduced uncertainty in their lives. Prior to sobriety playing in a band, life was full of uncertainty and chaos. There was no true sense of direction or faith in any process.

Now, uncertainty is just a faint memory after sobriety. The girls discuss different ways that they overcame uncertainty with their addictions and in the current events today. Also, they get into changing your mindset to see negative situations as opportunities rather than hindrances.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• What it was like playing a band full of chaos and uncertainty
• How uncertainty has been almost eliminated after sobriety
• How to see the quarantine as an opportunity rather than something negative 

Let's face it, self-esteem is something that many alcoholics and addicts struggle to come to peace with. It's one of the main culprits of addiction in the first place, and it's not necessarily the easiest to come by even after sobriety.

Kaila and Kikii discuss in-depth their struggles with self-esteem from an early age to adulthood. They also discuss what it was like dealing with self-esteem in the band.

• Sober activities to do that will help give you confidence

Feeling anxious?

The truth is we all feel it sometimes.

However, some get it bad more than others. 

One of the biggest reasons why people turn to alcohol and drugs is to "calm their nerves" or essentially temporarily stifle their anxiety. The only problem is it never really goes away.

It's also a huge reason why people don't want to get sober in the first place. Alcohol and drugs become a crutch for anxiety and addicts feel like they can't function without it.

However, you DON'T need alcohol and drugs to overcome your anxieties.

Kaila and Kiki discuss how they dealt with their anxieties and how it led them to addictive behaviors. They also talk about some of the ways they deal with anxiety while they are sober and why you don't need drugs or alcohol to feel calm and at peace. Plus, you'll hear some wellness tips on how to calm your anxiety in situations that it can be triggered.

In this episode, they'll cover:

• How their anxieties lead them to become addicted to drugs and alcohol
• What it was like dealing with their anxieties as soon as they got sober
• Wellness tips and tricks on how to calm your anxiety down when you are sober

Can you be sober if you smoke cigarettes but abstain from alcohol?

Kaila and Kiki discuss the meaning of sobriety and how it applies to their recovery journey. They also cover different trends that toe the line of sobriety like Ayahuasca Retreats, "Cali Sober" and other "natural" drug usage.
