There is a gift in all of these failures, and you've got to figure out what that gift is. There is a deeper reason behind your sobriety.
Molly Desch, the voice behind 'This is Sober', opens up about her personal battles with relapse in this compelling episode. After over a year of sobriety, Molly found herself slipping back into old habits, mistakenly believing she could handle drinking again. Through her candid storytelling, Molly reveals the crucial lessons she learned from these setbacks. She emphasizes the importance of owning your story and understanding your 'why' as key elements to maintaining sobriety.
When faced with her partner's drinking during a business trip, Molly experienced intense loneliness and fear of isolation on her sober path. Yet, she turned this moment into an opportunity to reaffirm her commitment to herself and her journey. Another challenging episode occurred when friends threw her a happy hour going away party, leading to an unexpected relapse. This incident taught her the necessity of planning and preparing for social situations to avoid similar pitfalls.
Molly's experiences highlight the significance of building a 'sober toolbox'—a set of strategies and supports to navigate the complexities of staying sober. Her story is a powerful reminder that relapse isn't the end; it's a chance to learn, grow, and strengthen your resolve. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, Molly's insights offer valuable lessons on resilience and self-trust. Tune in to hear how she turned her relapses into stepping stones towards a stronger, more determined sobriety.
