We really closed it out perfectly with that realization—the guilt that comes whispering in your ear. It's who can say, maybe there's someone listening on this podcast who's truly sober and so self-indulgent in the way they're taking care of themselves that it's really a problem. But I bet not. I bet every single person who is listening to this should feel good about your self-care.

In this episode, Steve Martin-Bennet celebrates a milestone by bringing back his 'sober sibling', Kristen R, to dive deep into this very question. They reminisce about their old notions and frustrations with self-care before sobriety and how those ideas have transformed over time.

From embracing fresh self-care practices to debating how much is too much, their conversation is both enlightening and relatable. You'll hear about their 'perfect day' scenarios and get a glimpse into their personal challenges and victories. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to rethink their approach to self-care while navigating the path to sobriety.
