When your brain becomes your worst enemy after having a baby, nobody talks about it. In this raw conversation with author Suzanne Warye, she and Amanda chat about OCD how alcohol becomes both a crutch and a complication.
Things discussed:
* The moment when Suzanne's OCD thoughts shifted from "what if something happens to my baby" to "what if I do something"
* Why intrusive thoughts about harming your child are actually common in OCD (and why nobody talks about it)
* How alcohol becomes the go-to numbing agent when you're convinced you're a monster
* Why waiting for your partner to get sober first is a trap (especially in heterosexual relationships)
* The connection between OCD "sticky thoughts" and the desperate need to escape them through drinking
* How sobriety doesn't cure OCD but gives you the clarity to actually address it
About Suzanne: Suzanne Warye is the author of The Sober Shift, host of The Sober Mom Life Podcast, and creator of The Sober Mom Life Cafe.
