Standing Up to Booze Bullying: Sober Jo's Inspiring Journey

I was really inspired by [people who could go sober], and I kid you not, people put down sponsorship of pounds...it wasn't just one person who did that, because they thought it was so funny that I thought I could do this.
Ever felt the pressure to drink even when you didn't want to? Sober Jo knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'The Sobriety Diaries', host Nate Kelly chats with Jo about her path to sobriety and the hurdles she faced along the way. Jo opens up about her experiences with 'booze bullying', where friends and society pushed her to drink despite her desire to stay sober. She also tackles the lingering stigma around choosing an alcohol-free life.
Jo's honesty is refreshing as she recounts her failed attempts at Dry January and Sober October, which initially made her doubt her ability to quit drinking for good. But with determination and the support of the sober community, she found her way. Now, Jo uses her story to inspire others through her blog, social media, and Clubhouse talks. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a testament to the power of community and resilience in the face of addiction.
Tune in to hear Jo's candid reflections and gain insights on standing firm against societal pressures.
