Fun to me means doing things that genuinely bring me joy, that spark my curiosity and that nourish my innermost crevices
Refiloe Mofokeng once believed that alcohol made her a fun person. But as she reveals in this episode of 'Sunkissed and Sober', her journey to sobriety has completely transformed her understanding of joy and fun. Refiloe opens up about the lies she told herself to justify drinking and how these misconceptions masked her true self. She reflects on how her definitions of fun have evolved since choosing sobriety, leading to a deeper self-exploration and acceptance.
During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Refiloe found herself becoming more introverted and reserved, which led her to believe she wasn't fun without alcohol. She began drinking to feel more connected with others and herself, but soon realized that alcohol was distancing her from her authentic self. This realization was the first step towards redefining what fun meant to her. Now, Refiloe finds joy in activities that truly nourish her spirit.
She proudly shares her love for candle making, salsa dancing, completing puzzles, gardening, and preserving food. These hobbies have brought a sense of fulfillment that alcohol never could. Her story is a testament to the enriching power of sobriety and the importance of self-acceptance. Refiloe's journey is a powerful reminder that fun and joy come from within. She encourages listeners to explore what genuinely brings them happiness and to embrace their true selves.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to redefine their relationship with alcohol and discover a more fulfilling life. Tune in to hear Refiloe’s inspiring story and find out how sobriety can lead to true joy.
