We should rather compare ourselves with the best version of ourselves that we could be.
Ever felt like you couldn't find a story that truly resonates with your own experiences? Meet Thando Pato, the trailblazing author who decided to change that narrative. In this episode of Tribe Sober, Janet sits down with Thando, the first black South African woman to pen a Quit Lit memoir, 'On the Rocks'. Thando opens up about her journey to sobriety, sharing the highs and lows of her path and the unique challenges she faced along the way.
She talks about how her drinking began in university, a common starting point for many, but quickly spiraled into something much darker despite her outwardly successful life. They dive into the significance of seeing oneself represented in recovery literature and how Thando's book fills a much-needed gap in the genre. If you've ever struggled to find your own story in the pages of Quit Lit, this episode is a must-listen.
Janet and Thando also discuss practical tips for navigating social situations without alcohol and highlight the immense benefits of an alcohol-free life. Tune in for an episode that's not just about quitting drinking but about finding your own voice and support in the journey to sobriety.
