Just because we're sober doesn't mean we still can't be pissed.
What happens when sobriety isn't all rainbows and butterflies? In this episode of 'Canadian Sober Eh!', Dougie Fresh sits down with Quint from England for a raw and honest chat about the less glamorous side of staying sober. Forget the sugar-coated stories; this conversation dives into the nitty-gritty frustrations that can come with a life free from alcohol.
From the elusive 'pink cloud' phase to the everyday irritations that can still get under your skin, Dougie and Quint lay it all out there. Quint shares his unique journey, highlighting that there wasn't a dramatic rock-bottom moment for him—just a clear realization that enough was enough. Both hosts discuss how alcohol often becomes a misguided solution to life's problems, a sentiment echoed in the big book of AA.
They also tackle the impact of drinking on families and the urgent need for more effective addiction treatment systems. Despite the gripes, the episode ends on a hopeful note, with both men expressing gratitude for their sobriety and the supportive communities in Canada and the UK. It's an eye-opening discussion that will resonate with anyone on the road to recovery, offering both empathy and a bit of humor along the way.
