Sobriety is not boring, right, you will not die of boredom, right, you will find new things that you enjoy or don't enjoy, and you know you still have fun in sobriety.
Ever worried that sobriety might be dull? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Recovery Captured', Shannon Louise tackles this common fear head-on. She shares her initial dread of a boring sober life and how she discovered the opposite—sobriety can be full of joy and self-discovery. Shannon opens up about her early days of sobriety, where boredom loomed large.
But instead of giving in, she found new ways to fill her time, like hanging out with her beloved dogs and engaging in activities that boost her self-esteem. It's not just about staying busy; it's about finding things that genuinely make you happy. Shannon also dives into the tricky waters of dating while sober and how she navigates negative self-talk. Her message is clear: self-love and self-care are vital.
She encourages listeners to challenge those nagging, negative thoughts and to remember their worth. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that sobriety isn't the end of fun—it's the beginning of a new, fulfilling chapter.
