We hear a lot of progressive stories from people who stop drinking, and find comfort in their new path towards sobriety. Often times, the weird space that’s created from the moment you decide to stop consuming alcohol and vow to build a new life for yourself is omitted. The time it takes to get adjusted into a new life of sobriety can get messy, ugly, socially awkward, and lonely. Your daily life changes, social circles shift, and the things that you participated in at one point in your life eventually become hazardous to your well-being.
Janneke Highstreets joins Reggie Black at Ink & Lion Cafe in Bangkok to open up about her journey and the emotional turbulence she’s experiencing on the path to sobriety. Janneke is an artist, and founder of jn/nk, a participatory experience, community art, and human interactive art collective. Originally from The Netherlands, and currently living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Janneke takes us on this beautiful, raw, insecure, and vulnerable narrative that articulates the layers of complexity that lives inside of her mind and heart. Janneke admits the road to sobriety has been challenging and depressing, however as she states with confidence in our conversation that “this is is a transition time, it’s accepting this new person.”
