You actually have to change things if you want things to change. Weird.
What happens when you decide to take a break from alcohol? In this episode of 'Off The Rocks', Jennie Nelson and Sara Lewis dive into the highs and lows of Dry January and other sober stints. Jennie opens up about her year-long sobriety attempt that ended right where it started because she didn’t tackle the underlying issues. She contrasts this with her more successful three-year break, where she did all the hard work needed for real change.
It’s a stark reminder that just abstaining from alcohol isn’t enough; you’ve got to dig deep to understand why you were drinking in the first place. Sara brings her therapist’s perspective into the mix, emphasizing personal accountability. She reminds us that while we can support others, we’re not responsible for their choices. It's a powerful message for anyone who feels weighed down by the actions of those around them.
But don’t worry, it’s not all heavy talk—Sara lightens the mood with some unexpected humor about dog anatomy. This episode is a mix of heartfelt stories and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone curious about sobriety or struggling with their own journey. Jennie and Sara break down myths about rock bottoms and willpower, stressing that real change comes from within and not from quick fixes. They also highlight the crucial role of therapy and self-care in maintaining sobriety.
If you’re looking for an honest, no-nonsense discussion on what it really takes to stay sober, this episode has got you covered. Tune in for a blend of wisdom, humor, and real talk that’ll leave you both enlightened and entertained.
