In this episode of The Sober Plug, Connor Duffy tackles a common misconception about sobriety: the idea that you have to be 'ready' to quit drinking. Connor argues that waiting to feel ready might just be a stalling tactic. Instead, he shares his own raw and honest journey, emphasising that desperation often drives the decision to get sober more than readiness.
