Ever wondered what it really takes to get through the first year of sobriety? Arielle Dyment, the founder of My Sober Compass, lays it all out in this episode of 'From Hangovers to Happiness'. She doesn’t sugarcoat the experience—she talks about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Arielle’s journey is a raw and honest account of her first year without alcohol, filled with moments of struggle and triumph. One key point she stresses is the importance of community.
Moving to a new town after treatment, she had to build a sober network from scratch. This wasn’t easy, but it was crucial. Isolation can be a trap in early recovery, and Arielle highlights how vital it is to connect with others face-to-face. Journaling and playing the tape forward were also game-changers for her. By imagining the consequences of taking that first drink, she managed to stay motivated and avoid slipping back into old habits.
Setting boundaries and finding her voice were other significant milestones in her journey. Arielle’s story isn’t just about her; it’s a beacon for anyone grappling with early sobriety. She reminds listeners that pain can be a powerful teacher and that everyone has the potential to change their lives. If you’re in the early stages of recovery or just need some inspiration, this episode is a must-listen. Arielle’s message is clear: you matter, and you’ve got this.
