32. Healing Through Sobriety: A Personal Journey with our host Jasmine Lisciotto

In today’s episode of Life Biz & All That Jazz, I’m opening up about one of the most transformative decisions of my life: choosing sobriety.

I share my personal journey of walking away from alcohol. Reflecting on the trauma that fueled my drinking, the challenges of identifying as a high-functioning binge drinker, and the two-year milestone that has reshaped my relationship with myself, my joy, and my healing.

Sobriety, for me, isn’t just about quitting alcohol, it’s about becoming. It’s about building a fulfilling life, discovering who I am without the party girl mask, and understanding the science (like dopamine’s role) behind my old habits. Most of all, it’s about finding peace in progress, not perfection.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

🧠 How trauma and dopamine influenced my relationship with alcohol

💬 The guilt, shame, and emotional healing that surfaced in sobriety

💡 Tools and resources that supported my two-year sober journey

💖 Why sobriety is about joy, self-discovery, and living fully present

Key Takeaways

• Sobriety is not a destination 👉🏼 it’s a lifelong journey of growth
• Facing emotions head-on is where the real healing happens
• Dopamine plays a huge role in understanding addiction and recovery
• Self-discovery and joy come from the simplest moments
• You’re not broken 👉🏼 you’re becoming, one step at a time
