In this episode we are joined by Faye Lawrence.
Faye is a grey area drinking coach, psychotherapist and founder of Untoxicated, Australia's largest alcohol free social group.
She shares her personal journey, stemming from an upbringing being exposed to alcohol and drugs, in which she was able to disconnect instantly from the internal struggles she was experiencing. While she could take it or leave it with drugs, she describes alcohol as her kryptonite.
She describes a life of a high functioning addict, maintaining on the surface a well balanced life, working corporate jobs, studying psychology, raising children, all the while alcohol consumption was interlaced throughout, it ultimately lead to her internal world to crumble.
She went into inpatient detox, an eye opening life changing experience where she was determined to never return to this place again, and has been alcohol free ever since. She shares being diagnosed with ADHD, we learn more about the disorder and how common it is found amongst people with substance abuse issues.
She talks on Untoxicated, a social group she founded by her need and desire for connection. She wanted to bring fun back into socialising without alcohol.
It's an engaging conversation with a lot of great useful information, we thank Faye for sharing her journey and her wisdom.
