Descripción

Internal Title: You Were Never Anything Else After 48 episodes of digging up the past, naming the committee, and finding real tools — there's one question left. Who am I now? And the honest answer might be — fuck if I know. This week Gregg explores what happens when you stop reaching for labels. The old ones like broken, alcoholic, anxious. And even the new ones like healed or healthy. What's left when you strip all of it away? Turns out — nothing needed fixing in the first place. You were never the bug under the rock. You were always the shiny penny. Always have been. And then comes the part nobody warns you about. You find the penny — and you have no idea what to do with it. Next stop — what do I do with the penny? #TerrifcTuesdays #GettingBetterAtBeingHuman #RecoveryPodcast #Sobriety #WhoAmINow #ShinyPenny #AnxietyRelief #MentalHealth #SoberLife #YouWereNeverBroken #IdentityInRecovery #HealingJourney #RecoveryTools #NotBroken #AA #CopingStrategies

Episode 48 Coping Strategies_You Are Not Broken_You Never Were Told the Truth (Because it didn't exist)

In 1968, a kid lost his dad and had no name for what he was feeling. In 1972, he found the only solution available — Mad Dog 20/20 on a tennis court at twelve years old. In 1983, he got sober. In 1990, he finally got a diagnosis. And for the next thirty-six years, he fought every treatment the medical world threw at him while the anxiety kept hanging on. This episode is for the person still in the fight. The one searching at 2am for something that actually works. The one who has been told their whole life that something is wrong with them. Nothing is wrong with you. The truth just didn't exist yet. Now it does. #TerrifcTuesdays #GettingBetterAtBeingHuman #RecoveryPodcast #Sobriety #AnxietyRelief #CopingStrategies #YouWereNeverBroken #MentalHealth #NervousSystem #SoberLife #AnxietySupport #HealingJourney #RecoveryTools #Trauma #DSM #ScienceAndRecovery #NotBroken #GettingHelp
