Episode #20 - Normalising the Feelings of Discomfort From Joy & Happiness After Toxicity

Eve Milford Season 1 Episode 20

Have you ever thought about happiness and joy in sobriety? We often hear that sobriety leads to serenity and happiness, but what about those moments when we question it? I recall my early days in sobriety and the awakening I experienced. It was like finding inner peace, surrendering, and accepting myself. 

 In this episode I take a closer look at the feelings of happiness, joy and pleasure and explore why it's so hard to navigate these feelings that are supposed to be good!!

 I take a non judgemental look at not being ok with pleasure, joy and happiness and talk about:

  • The Hedonic Setpoint
  • Life after toxicity
  • Suggestions on how to re-establish happiness, joy and pleasure
  • Ways to celebrate

 It's all a journey from self-loathing to self-love! 

 Experiencing happiness and joy in sobriety can be challenging, especially if you've spent years in a state of dysregulation. But it's a journey worth taking. Embrace these feelings, normalise discomfort, and remember that you are worthy of a joyful, toxic free life.
