Episode Overview
- Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is a crucial aspect of early sobriety.
- Documenting your why and the negative aspects of drinking can serve as powerful tools in moments of doubt or temptation.
- Creating new routines and habits that allow you to take care of yourself in ways your drunk self couldn't is essential.
- Finding community and support, whether through virtual groups or social media, can make the sobriety journey less lonely and more inspiring.
- Celebrating the positives and benefits of sobriety, such as regaining time and energy, is key to staying motivated.
My number one tip for everyone starting out in sobriety is absolutely to put pen to paper and write everything down. The best time is right now, no matter where you are in your sobriety. Because if you get further down the line and you start to question your why or you're not feeling as motivated, maybe you're starting to romanticize the idea of drinking a little bit, what you wrote down can be your greatest tool to go read back and remind yourself of exactly why you're doing this.
