How To Be Sober In An Alcohol Obsessed World

In this talk, I share my journey of sobriety, how sobriety benefits the body, and the resources & people who helped to shape my decision to not drink alcohol anymore. I hope that sharing my journey supports you along with yours. You are not alone. I know sometimes it can feel that way when we live in a world where so many activities center around drinking.

I have asked those who listen to this to share their personal stories in the comments section. May these stories help the souls reading along their path of sobriety.

Thank you. This was very concise, compassionate and beautifully spoken. I have struggled with alcohol nearly my entire life. It is a tricky, baffling and cunning substance that likes to team up with my ego. The point you made about identity and change of identity really resonated for me. I think up until fairly recently I didn't want to admit failure, specifically that I was not like seemingly most people and couldn't have a drink because it just effected my brain differently. I am sober and have made a commitment to myself to remain so for the remainder of my days. It isn't easy by any means. Yet think you summed up the keys to sobriety very elegantly and concisely. Thank you. 🤍

I keep falling back into temptation every few days, even though I know how incredible sober life will be. I don’t know how to stick to the plan. Mostly triggered by isolation and I drink when my children go to their dad’s for the week. I’ve written down your strategies after and hopefully this time I’ll stay strong. Thank you x

Your perspective is unique. Most people will ignore me or just continue talking about thier love of beer and wine; as if the effect of alcohol is old news or irrelevant. 😱Thank you 🥰🙏🏻
