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'.

She offers heartfelt advice for those in the early stages of sobriety, making this episode not just informative but also deeply encouraging.
