Trigger Warning for recovering alcoholics!
It's a very personal episode, but for everyone who knows me, I've been sober for 2 years. I realized I hit a plateau when it came to my progress with allowing myself to thrive with my Harm OCD. The one final exposure i needed to do? Alcohol.
I stopped drinking out of fear that my alcohol will trigger my intrusive thoughts to make me do things I did not want to do, and while this actually had great health benefits for me being sober for a very long time, it left me with an issue i couldn't resolve.
I couldn't quite shake the hold that my OCD still had on me, and I decided to take a huge leap of faith and see where i landed.
Listen to the entire episode and see how I was able to make important decisions pertaining to my OCD and how i can navigate throughout going back to being sober!
