And so I was like okay, I guess I got to make the move on the subway.
Dating without alcohol can feel like walking through a maze blindfolded. In this episode of Sober Company, Jay joins hosts Lacey and Nik to share his candid experiences with sober dating. Jay’s stories are not just about navigating dates without a drink in hand; they’re about finding self-respect, setting boundaries, and embracing the unique opportunities that sobriety brings. One of the standout moments is when Jay talks about the importance of saying no.
Early in his recovery, he found himself in situations where he could be taken advantage of because he didn't set clear boundaries. His advice? Recognize when a situation isn’t healthy and don’t be afraid to step away. Jay also dives into the tricky terrain of rejection. He recounts instances where potential partners lost interest upon learning he was sober. Instead of seeing this as a setback, Jay views it as a filter to meet people who truly accept him.
Sobriety, he argues, can make you unique and open doors to connections you might have missed otherwise. For anyone venturing into sober dating, Jay’s journey offers valuable insights and hope. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for years, this episode provides practical advice and inspiration to help you navigate your own sober dating adventures.
