I can look back and laugh at that now, because not only was I just completely unprepared with how to date as a sober person...but also things that, if, let's say, the date actually went well in my mind I'm going zero to. I'm already painting the white picket fence on the house and picking out the family dog in my head and of course, when it didn't go well, I would be completely unable to handle that.
Picture this: you're a college student, surrounded by the constant buzz of parties and social gatherings, but you’ve made the decision to stay sober. This is the reality for Ben R., who chose sobriety before he even turned 21. In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back', Ben opens up about the unique challenges and triumphs of navigating college life without alcohol.
He dives into his early encounters with drugs and alcohol, sharing candid reflections on how he managed to stay on track despite the pressures around him. One of the most intriguing parts of Ben's story is his experience with dating. Imagine meeting the girl of your dreams but being told not to date in your first year of sobriety. Ben talks about the emotional rollercoaster of handling relationships while staying true to his commitment to sobriety.
He shares how he leaned on his sponsor and embraced change, eventually finding a meaningful relationship that didn't compromise his journey. Ben also touches on how sobriety shaped his college experience, from academic achievements to discovering a career path that aligned with his new life goals. His story is a testament to the power of community support and the importance of being open to transformation.
Whether you're a student facing similar challenges or someone seeking inspiration, Ben’s journey offers valuable insights and hope for a sober future.
