Sobriety: Expectations vs. Reality with Mestume

Getting into the program, learning that you can rely on a new form of strength and you could go to all these people for advice and help in moments of weakness, that I'm going to do something stupid, can I talk to you instead- was really relieving for me.
What happens when your expectations of sobriety clash with reality? In this episode of 'The Sober Unicorn', host Holden S chats with Mestume, who shares their candid journey into sobriety. Mestume opens up about the initial expectations they had about the recovery program and how those differed significantly from the actual experience. They delve into the crucial role of fellowship and the liberating power of honesty in their recovery process. Mestume's story doesn't stop there.
They also touch on the unique challenges faced by non-binary individuals in recovery, offering heartfelt insights on navigating gender dynamics within the program. Their experiences shed light on the importance of community support and being true to oneself, making this episode a must-listen for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community or allies seeking to understand more about the path to sobriety.
With its mix of personal anecdotes and broader reflections, this episode provides a nuanced look at what it really means to stay sober. It's not just about giving up alcohol; it's about embracing a new way of life, one that is honest, supportive, and uniquely yours. Tune in to hear Mestume's inspiring story and gain valuable insights into the realities of sobriety.
