When people get into a dark place with alcohol, they tend to isolate themselves, and the opposite of that is a community, and the tribe is an unbelievably great community for me.
Ever wondered how a supportive community can change your life? Meet John Rishworth, a dedicated member of Tribe Sober, who opens up about his journey to an alcohol-free life. John, from Canada, recently celebrated eight months of sobriety, and he credits the tribe for giving him the connection and support he needed to make lasting changes. In this episode, John shares his experience working in sales and marketing, where a 'work hard/play hard' culture was the norm.
He describes the pressure to drink heavily during company-sponsored events and the colossal hangovers that followed. Despite considering himself highly functional, John now realizes he wasn't operating at his best. Counseling helped him acknowledge the need for change, but it was joining Tribe Sober that truly made a difference. John talks about the importance of honesty, reflection, and finding a community of like-minded individuals who inspire each other to stay sober.
He also discusses the challenges of dining out and the stigma associated with being labeled an alcoholic. This episode introduces the sobriety battle plan toolkit, packed with charts and trackers to help you start and maintain your sober journey. Tune in to hear John's inspiring story and learn how Tribe Sober can support you in your quest for an alcohol-free life.
