I think a lot of the reasons I drank too, was because I was so afraid of putting myself out there in creative outlets, for whatever reasons, whatever people think, being shut down, turned down, whatever you know a lot of the fears that paralyze a lot of us in life, for whatever reason we just don't do it.
Imagine reflecting on wild party nights and realizing those were the very moments that pushed you towards a sober life. In this episode of 'Soberland', host Lindsay Cowan sits down with her friend Matt Farmer to talk about his journey from the chaotic party scene in Ybor, Florida, to finding strength in solitude. Matt opens up about the financial stress, social anxieties, and negative feedback loops that led him to choose sobriety.
His candid reflections on these struggles provide a raw and real look at what it takes to make such a life-changing decision. But it’s not just about the hardships. Matt shares how building a relationship with himself became his most powerful tool in staying sober. He talks about the importance of setting boundaries, especially in social situations, and how he overcame his fears of putting himself out there creatively.
Lindsay and Matt's conversation is filled with laughter and heartfelt moments as they reminisce about their past while celebrating the present. This episode is perfect for anyone looking for inspiration or support on their own sobriety journey. It's a reminder that finding strength in being alone can lead to profound self-discovery and lasting change.
