The not-so-secret solution to staying sober is connection, so let's break up with booze together!
Sobriety can feel like an insurmountable challenge, especially when the idea of 'never drinking again' looms large. In this episode of 'I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye', Dana Michael Krull sits down with Kerry Hooper, who has been sober for 88 days, to unpack the hurdles of early sobriety and the pivotal role of community support.
Dana, a former Army chaplain, shares his own battles with alcohol and how connecting with others in the sober community helped him break free from the cycle of addiction. Kerry opens up about her decision to quit drinking and the day-to-day struggles she faces in a society that often glorifies alcohol. The duo emphasizes the importance of taking sobriety one day at a time and building a support system outside of social media.
They also discuss the concept of 'building a bridge while crossing it', highlighting the necessity of planning for potential cravings and staying accountable. Kerry talks about her own journey of replacing one addiction with another and the joy of creating new, alcohol-free memories. Both Dana and Kerry encourage listeners to join them in breaking up with booze and to lean on a community that understands their struggles.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation filled with practical tips and personal stories that underscore the power of connection in achieving and maintaining sobriety.
