When we get sober, it is harder to find people who are worth it for us. And, when we stop, a lot of the frustration in sober dating can come from the fact that we don't have to be alone but can't lower our standards. It really changes. Being married is a blessing that has come along, but I know if it hadn't come along for me, I would have been okay. I would have been.
Life’s big moments often come with a side of champagne, but what happens when you take alcohol out of the equation? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara tackle this very question. Tawny recently tied the knot, and she opens up about navigating the emotional rollercoaster of her wedding day without a drop of booze. The conversation dives deep into the significance of life milestones and how sobriety can transform these experiences.
Lisa and Tawny share their insights on why external events like marriage or having kids aren't magic fixes for our lives. Instead, they stress the importance of building confidence and comfort within ourselves. They chat about the joy that comes from being present and appreciating the small, everyday victories in sobriety. Plus, there's a fun Music Minute featuring tunes from Billy Idol and Bleachers, adding a rock 'n' roll twist to the discussion.
Whether you’re celebrating a big event or just trying to find peace in daily life, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on living sober and finding gratitude in every moment.
