I think one of the keys is to surround yourself with the products and the people and the places and eliminate the kind of things that don't serve you anymore.
Imagine growing up surrounded by a party culture, where drinking is the norm, and then carrying that habit into your college years and beyond. This is the backdrop for Will House, the founder of Oberit, an app designed to help people build sustainable recovery habits. In this episode of 'This is Sober', host Molly Desch chats with Will about his journey from excessive drinking to creating a tool that supports long-term mental wellness.
Will's story starts with early exposure to heavy drinking, which only intensified during his college years and into his corporate career in London. The 'work hard, play hard' mentality took a toll on his life, leading to a point where he knew something had to change. Traditional recovery methods didn't quite fit for Will, so he sought out healthier habits and routines, which eventually inspired him to create Oberit.
Oberit isn't just another app; it's a rewards-based platform that encourages users to develop consistent, healthy habits. It offers digital rewards and exclusive discounts from brand partners, making the recovery journey not just bearable but rewarding. Will shares how surrounding oneself with supportive, like-minded individuals is crucial for success in recovery. He also delves into his own daily routines, including the benefits of cold exposure and the power of morning rituals.
For anyone looking to break free from the grip of alcohol and build a fulfilling, sober life, this episode is packed with practical advice and inspiration. Will's candid discussion about his struggles and triumphs offers hope and actionable steps for those on their own recovery journey.
