When we get sober, the world takes it personally. There are four types of characters you may meet when you stop drinking: 'The overnight addiction expert, 'the drunk persuader, the 'moving the goalposts friend,' and the 'fun police.'
Imagine deciding to quit drinking and suddenly everyone around you has an opinion. In this episode of 'Soberful', Veronica Valli and Chip Somers break down the four types of characters you’re likely to meet on your sobriety journey. Ever met an 'overnight addiction expert'? These are the folks who suddenly think they know everything about your drinking habits and will try to convince you that you don’t have a problem.
Then there's the 'drunk persuader', always trying to lure you back into old habits with a drink in hand. Let's not forget the 'moving the goalposts friend', who keeps shifting what sobriety should look like to suit their own drinking. Lastly, there's the 'fun police', who believe life without alcohol is a bore and will try to drag you back to the party scene.
Veronica and Chip share their personal experiences with these characters and offer practical advice on how to handle them. This episode is a blend of humor, empathy, and wisdom, making it perfect for anyone navigating life after alcohol. Whether you’re newly sober or have been on this path for a while, you’ll find relatable stories and useful tips to stay true to yourself and enjoy life without alcohol.
