Alex's Journey: Sobriety and Resilience During the Pandemic

Being gay doesn't have to involve going to brunch and going out on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, it can involve being sober.
What does it take to stay sober in the midst of a global crisis? In this episode of 'The Sober Unicorn', Holden S chats with Alex, an essential worker who embarked on his sobriety journey during the height of the pandemic. Alex opens up about the unique challenges he faced, juggling his newfound sobriety with the pressures of being on the front lines.
He shares how his eating disorder intertwined with his path to recovery, offering a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction. From deciding between 'California sober' and full sobriety to finding financial strategies that supported his new lifestyle, Alex's story is a testament to resilience. He highlights the importance of supportive communities, especially through AA meetings and friendships, which played a crucial role in his journey.
This episode is not just about Alex's struggle but also about breaking stereotypes—showing that being gay doesn't have to mean a life of partying and drinking. Instead, Alex paints a picture of sobriety as a fulfilling and valid choice. Tune in to hear more about his inspiring journey.
