Episode 7: Sober Dating

Dating can be a tricky terrain, and when you add sobriety into the mix, it can feel like navigating a minefield. In this engaging episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara get real about their experiences with sober dating. They share how kicking alcohol to the curb helped them rebuild their self-esteem and discover the joy of being single before diving back into the dating pool.

Both Lisa and Tawny open up about how sobriety has made them more attuned to what they truly want and need in a partner, and the importance of honest communication in any new relationship. They also don't shy away from discussing the hurdles—like dealing with alcohol-centric social scenes and setting boundaries. The duo dives into their shared love for musicians and the challenge of finding sober-friendly spaces to meet potential partners. One of the standout messages?

Knowing what you don't want in a relationship is just as crucial as knowing what you do want. Lisa's words ring true: 'Believe in yourself and know that you are enough without a significant other, but that makes it even better'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery looking to understand how sobriety can transform your approach to dating and relationships.
