Life is so much better. It's kind of a cliche, but it's a cliche because it's true, is that what I was looking for when I drank is actually what I've found in sobriety: connection, happiness, confidence. I'm a much more confident person because of sobriety.
Madeline Forrest kicks off the 'Happiest Sober Podcast' by diving into the rollercoaster ride of her sobriety journey. In this debut episode, Madeline opens up about the different stages she went through, from the initial hurdles to the beautiful moments of clarity and joy that followed. She shares the tools and strategies that helped her navigate these stages, making it clear that sobriety is not just about giving up alcohol but about gaining a richer, more fulfilling life.
Early on, Madeline faced significant challenges, emphasizing the importance of taking things one day at a time. She found solace in books about quitting alcohol, adult coloring books, and even listing out her most embarrassing drunken moments as a reminder of why she chose this path. The middle phase, which she describes as 'messy', was particularly tough. Here, she battled feelings of discouragement and the urge to drink but knew deep down that she wouldn't give in.
Social situations posed their own set of difficulties, especially during lockdowns, but Madeline's determination never wavered. What shines through in this episode is the sense of connection, happiness, and confidence that Madeline discovered through sobriety. She talks about how this journey has made her a more confident person and how she found the joy she was searching for in a bottle within herself instead.
If you're looking for an honest and uplifting discussion about the realities of living sober, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Madeline's inspiring story and gather some practical tips for your own sobriety journey.
