I am in a space where I know enough to know enough. I don't know everything, like I was overwhelmed going to Las Vegas. Yeah, sure, always, but I don't walk around my day-to-day life thinking about alcohol, which is contrary to me posting about it Every Single Day, because I enjoy creating community and I enjoy supporting people who are new in their journey.
Ever wondered why certain days of the week are deemed 'drinking days'? In this episode of 'Sobriety Uncensored', hosts Jenna and Daniel dive into how these societal norms can make it tough for those battling alcohol addiction. They chat about the subtle ways society normalizes drinking and how this can lead to rationalizations that keep people stuck in harmful patterns.
Jenna and Daniel also highlight the importance of celebrating sober milestones, no matter how small, and the struggle of making sobriety feel like the new normal. One standout moment is Jenna's personal story about friends who relapsed during the pandemic, underscoring the need for accountability and a strong support system.
Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a mix of practical advice and heartfelt stories that make it clear: you’re not alone in this. Tune in for a candid conversation that blends humor with hard-hitting truths about living sober in a world that loves to drink.
