ep -63 College Drinking & Sobriety With Will Black in Denver Colorado.

Will started drinking to fit in when he was in college at the age of 18 which gave him a sense of belonging.  He experienced depression and anxiety in his teens which led to feeling socially awkward and not accepted.

Will knew it was a problem as he literally started blacking out right from the start and even heavy drinking strangers started telling him that maybe drinking wasn't for him. After trying to control his drinking, blackouts and repeated patterns of embarrassment with no success he finally got to the point where he could not continue. 

He got sober just before his 24th birthday and just celebrated 3 years of sobriety. Listen now to hear Wills story.

Corey was a pro baseball player and became addicted to his prescribed meds for a shoulder injury.  On the outside he had it all together and nothing in his past would ever lead anyone close to even consider that he was abusing his prescription. 

He tells us the moment you can’t look yourself in the mirror is a definite red flag that you have crossed the line into addiction.

ep -56 Addiction and Mental Health Matters

Welcome to The Soberoso™ Podcast where we invite guests and listeners from around the world to join us in “Sharing Our Passion For Recovery.”

If you are an old timer in recovery, a newcomer, sober curious or a loved one of someone who struggles with alcoholism, addiction or mental health issues this show is for you.

May is Mental Health Month and in this episode Dora shares her experience with anxiety and depression and how it relates to many alcoholics and addicts' histories.  She shares how hindsight is 20/20 and how she used to need a drink at a certain point every day to take the edge off and how it wasn’t until starting her journey in sobriety that she understood and realized that alcohol is a depressant.

She talks about the fact that addiction and alcoholism are but symptoms of underlying causes and conditions and those underlying causes and conditions are often mental health issues.

Dora also shares 10 signs and symptoms to be aware of that may indicate an issue with Mental Health and how being open and honest with your Doctor about your recovery is the best way to safeguard your sobriety and not ending up with habit forming or addictive prescriptions. 

Depression, anxiety, PTSD and other trauma related scenarios are just some of the issues we deal with and even self medicate over. Let's break down these stigmas together by talking about these things without shame or guilt.

Each Tuesday we bring you a brand new episode where our grateful host Dora either shares what's on her mind or interviews a guest with Q & A’s regarding what life was like before and after finding recovery.

We are real people who have overcome incredible odds to turn our lives around and are passionate about tearing down the stigmas around alcoholism and addiction by speaking our truth and getting heard.

ep -55 with Doctor Jennifer Shaw in San Diego, California

This episode is packed full of good stuff and some new topics we haven't discussed on this show yet.  Doctor Jenn has always had that all or nothing attitude which is often the case with those of us with addictive personalities. 

Joining us from San Diego, Jennifer is a doctor with a background in physical therapy and after finishing seven years of schooling and just three weeks into her dream job she was hit by a car while on her bicycle. Dr. Jenn was instantly disabled at the young age of 24 and had a long road of recovery ahead of her.

At one point she was taking 30 prescribed pills a day to cope with the chronic pain, nerve damage etc. Her Doctors told her she would be dependent on these meds for the rest of her life but Jen had different ideas. She was challenged by someone she trusted to go for six months without drinking or getting involved in a relationship to find true healing for herself. 

This was the start in Jennifer's journey of living a clean and sober life and she openly shares her story with us. 

We also discuss being in a relationship with a narcissist and how to identify these types of people. 

Doctor Jennifer Shaw also has her own podcast  titled Natural Wellness Tips be sure to check it out and follow her on Instagram.
