It's okay to explore your identity. I was envious of today's youth because it's so much more open-minded. Every time I've gone on a date, I've always taken the approach like I'm worth it, like I'm a good catch, right, and I'm not trying to sound egotistical or anything, but I am right.
Stepping back into the dating world after sobriety or a long-term relationship can feel like diving into uncharted waters. In this episode of 'The Now What Society's You're Sober! Now What? Podcast', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy tackle the complex and often daunting topic of dating post-recovery. They share candid insights and practical advice for anyone braving this new chapter in their lives. One of the first hurdles discussed is rebuilding self-worth and confidence.
Tamar and Lane emphasize the importance of believing you're a catch, which can help counteract the negative self-talk that often accompanies recovery. They offer tips on how to maintain this positive mindset, making it easier to put yourself out there again. The conversation also touches on the pros and cons of online dating versus meeting people in person. While online platforms can be convenient, they come with their own set of challenges.
Tamar and Lane discuss how to navigate these digital waters while staying true to yourself. Another significant topic is exploring your sexuality in sobriety. For many, this period is a time of self-discovery, and dating can be an opportunity to explore new aspects of oneself. The hosts provide guidance on how to approach this exploration with authenticity and respect for your own boundaries. And let's not forget the inevitable awkward moments that come with dating.
From splitting the bill on a first date to unexpected surprises at someone's home, Tamar and Lane share their own experiences and offer advice on handling these situations with grace and humor. Dating after sobriety isn't just about finding a partner; it's about growth, connection, and self-discovery. With the right mindset and support, navigating this terrain can lead to meaningful and fulfilling relationships.
