Early recovery is full of “sober firsts”. They seem to come fast and furious in the initial weeks and months, and can be overwhelming at times.
Early recovery is a whirlwind of 'sober firsts'—those initial experiences without alcohol that can feel both daunting and exhilarating. In this episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy dives into these moments with her guests, offering a treasure trove of advice and heartfelt stories. The episode breaks down 'sober firsts' into three main categories: mixing with the normies, engaging in recovery, and navigating life solo. Each segment is packed with relatable anecdotes and practical tips.
