Blair's Sobriety Journey: All or Nothing, Forever

I knew that I had to just be done, because I knew that if I drink again, it's just going to be the same thing every every time.
Imagine realizing that your sobriety journey is a lifelong commitment from the very start. That's exactly what Blair, known in the social media world as @sobrietyactivist, discusses with host Dusty Koekenberg in this compelling episode of 'Sobriety.Matters'. Dusty admits to having a bit of a fan moment as he discovered striking similarities between his own story and Blair's. As they dive into their conversation, they find even more common ground than expected.
Blair and Dusty explore the concept of being 'all or nothing' individuals—those who struggle with moderation and often find themselves either fully engaged or completely detached. Blair shares her experience of knowing from the beginning that sobriety had to be a forever thing for her. They discuss how this mindset can be both a blessing and a challenge, especially when societal expectations around drinking come into play.
The episode also touches on the importance of therapy and self-discovery in the recovery process. Blair emphasizes the value of journaling as a tool for reflection and growth. She offers heartfelt advice for those in the early stages of sobriety, making this episode not just informative but also deeply encouraging. If you're looking for a relatable, honest conversation about the ups and downs of living sober, this episode is a must-listen.
