Sex and Sobriety: Navigating Intimacy with Veronica Valli and Chip Somers

When we make decisions based on low self-esteem and low self-worth...it's not usually a decision that serves us.
Sex and sobriety—two topics that are often difficult to discuss but incredibly important to understand. In this eye-opening episode of 'Soberful', hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers tackle the complexities of intimacy in recovery. With nearly 50 years of combined sobriety, they bring a wealth of experience and honesty to the conversation.
They dive into how our perceptions of sex are shaped, the fear and anxiety that can accompany sexual relationships, and the impact of pornography on our views of intimacy. One of the standout moments is their discussion on developing healthy sexual relationships while maintaining sobriety. Veronica and Chip don't shy away from the vulnerability that comes with early recovery, emphasizing the importance of rebuilding self-worth and value.
As Veronica aptly puts it, 'When we make decisions based on low self-esteem and low self-worth', it's often not in our best interest. Whether you're in the early stages of recovery or have been sober for years, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on navigating the often-taboo subject of sex. Tune in to hear their candid stories, expert opinions, and heartfelt advice on how to approach intimacy with honesty and openness.
