I just wish that people could understand just how good it is on the other side of it.
Why is it so hard to hold people accountable for their drinking habits? This episode of Sober Diaries dives deep into this question with guest Carl Smith, an entertainment journalist who knows all too well the pressures of heavy drinking in his line of work. Host Angus Reynolds chats with Carl about his journey to sobriety, which began eight months ago, and the challenges he faced in a profession where drinking was almost a job requirement.
Carl opens up about how his excessive drinking nearly cost him his career and how he turned his life around by quitting alcohol. He shares the benefits he's experienced since becoming sober and offers practical advice for those looking to cut down or quit drinking altogether. One of the standout moments is Carl's recommendation of Katherine Gray's book, 'The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober', which he describes as a relatable and non-preachy memoir.
The conversation also touches on the unique challenges of being a sober bartender, the influence of parenting on drinking habits, and the surprising productivity boost that comes with sobriety. Carl's candid reflections aim to show listeners 'just how good it is on the other side'. Whether you're sober curious or already on your sobriety journey, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
