The not-so-secret solution to staying sober is connection, so let's break up with booze together!
Have you ever wondered how emotional strength plays a role in sobriety? In this engaging episode of 'I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye', host Dana Michael Krull chats with Gillian Tietz, a prominent figure in the sober community and the mind behind a network of sober podcasts. Gillian, known as Sober Powered on Instagram, opens up about her personal path to sobriety and the pivotal moments that shaped her journey.
She dives into the concept of 'telescoping' through addiction, a rapid escalation many face, and shares why moving to a new place didn’t solve her drinking problem. Gillian also bravely discusses the dark times when suicidal thoughts were intertwined with her alcohol use and how she felt fortunate to stop drinking at 29. The episode sheds light on the crucial idea of 'emotional sobriety', a term Gillian believes is key to maintaining a life free from alcohol.
She talks about the challenges that come when the initial excitement of sobriety fades, often referred to as the 'pink cloud', and the importance of self-compassion in those moments. As someone who transitioned from a traditional career to starting her own business, Gillian offers valuable insights into building a new life in sobriety. Her story is not just about quitting alcohol but about creating a supportive community and finding strength in connection.
Whether you're navigating early sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode provides heartfelt wisdom and practical advice to help you on your journey.
