Feeling the jitters before a date is normal, but what if you tackled those nerves without a drink in hand? In this episode of 'Recovery Elevator', hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen dive into the world of sober dating. Joined by writer Zahra Bari, they unpack how modern dating often leans on alcohol to ease the awkwardness, but ends up creating more barriers than bridges.
Zahra shares her personal journey of moving from pre-date drinks to embracing genuine connections without the haze of alcohol. The trio discusses the benefits of sober dating, like making real connections and avoiding repetitive mistakes. They offer practical tips for navigating dates without alcohol, such as being upfront about your sobriety and choosing activities that don't revolve around drinking. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how to date authentically while staying true to their recovery journey.
