Wabi Sabi and the Shame Spiral of Alcohol Reliance

2025-05-31

You made a promise. Then you broke it. You drank. Again. And now the shame spiral begins… “You’re weak.” “You’re broken.” “You’ll never change.” Sound familiar? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, we explore the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi—a radically beautiful perspective that challenges everything the Liquid Lie taught you about perfection, failure, and worth. This isn’t just about relapse. It’s about rewriting your relationship with shame.
