The path to soberland is steep and full of potholes, so only the strongest get through, but it is so worth doing the work.
Imagine celebrating seven years without alcohol. That's exactly what Janet Gourand, the founder of Tribe Sober, has done. In this enlightening episode, Janet reflects on her journey and shares seven invaluable tips she's learned along the way. Whether you're just starting out or have been sober for a while, her insights are sure to resonate with you. Janet kicks things off by talking about the early days of sobriety and the challenges that come with it.
She humorously refers to 'Wine Witch' and 'Moderation Mary', those pesky voices in your head that tempt you to drink. Janet’s advice? Be prepared for them and know that not drinking might hurt at first, but it's worth it. One of her standout tips is to shake things up a bit. Janet encourages finding new ways to socialize that don't revolve around alcohol.
Breakfast in a fancy hotel, for example, can be a delightful and cheaper alternative to a boozy lunch. Plus, no one questions why you’re not drinking coffee! Another gem from Janet is the importance of building healthy habits. She stresses the need to fill the void left by alcohol with positive activities. Reading, exercising, or even picking up a new hobby can make a world of difference.
Janet also touches on the significance of perspective and keeping it throughout your journey. She reminds us that the only real failure is giving up on your sobriety goals. Surrounding yourself with supportive friends who uplift you is crucial. In essence, Janet’s seven tips are a blend of practical advice and heartfelt encouragement. They reflect her own experiences and the joy she’s found in living an alcohol-free life.
Tune in to hear more about how you can apply these tips to your own journey and find fulfillment without alcohol.
