151: Childhood Trauma - From Innocence to Addiction (Quick Sip with Ryan and Rachel)

In this Quick Sip episode of Rock Bottom with Ryan and Rachel, they discuss how traumatic childhood experiences shaped their adult lives and addictions. Rachel reflects on the anniversary of her mother’s overdose when she was 16, the guilt of pushing her mother out of the apartment the last day she saw her, and how grief contributed to her drinking, compounded this year by the recent death of her mother-in-law. Ryan shares how frequent moves after his parents’ divorce, changing schools, unstable relationships, and childhood sexual trauma affected his ability to settle and influenced his later relationships and substance use. Both talk about neglect, abandonment issues, repeating learned behaviors, making amends with parents, and continuing recovery, while also shouting out Sober Strong Apparel’s support and mission.00:00 Childhood Innocence Lost00:32 Addiction and Family Amends01:23 Rock Bottom Intro01:53 Sponsor Message02:53 Trauma and Grief Setup03:34 Mom Overdose Anniversary04:25 Guilt and Healing06:54 Mother In Law Loss08:22 Moving and Instability11:25 Sexual Trauma Impact12:24 Neglect and Loneliness15:15 Repeating the Pattern17:05 Relationship Blueprints20:43 Abandonment and Early Attention22:25 Seeking Love Wrong Places23:52 Ratchet Rachel Origins24:38 The One Childhood Change25:10 Missing Mother Figure25:38 Shoutout Two Girls26:55 Ryan's Nana and Moving29:51 Private School and Poverty31:53 Gratitude for Support32:47 Amazing Grace and Grief34:19 Pushing Through Sober37:08 Sober Strong Community39:46 Why Sober Strong Hits43:20 Wrap Up and DM Us
