If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why am I still struggling when I’m not even using anymore?" this episode's for you.

I’m breaking down what emotional sobriety really means, how it connects to your mental health, and why feeling your feelings doesn’t mean drowning in them. You’ll get practical tools, signs of growth, and a few “been-there” stories I wish someone told me sooner.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Sending everyone happy and healthy vibes,

Laura
