Use every tool. You can use everything in your arsenal. Surround yourself with support... It's the stronger thing to do. You'll struggle much more if you stay in denial.
Jake, the founder of Natural Highs Recovery, joins Louise Grati on this episode of the Sober Reference Podcast to dish out some bite-sized wisdom on maintaining sobriety. Ever wondered what to say when someone asks, 'What can I get you to drink?' Jake has you covered. He shares his go-to responses and how he navigates social settings without feeling left out. Spoiler: mocktails and ginger beer are his secret weapons.
But it’s not just about what’s in your glass; it’s about what’s in your mind too. Jake dives into how a meditation practice transformed his life, starting from just a minute a day to now enjoying up to an hour of mindful peace. He talks about the importance of starting small and being kind to yourself as you build new habits.
For those curious about sobriety, Jake’s advice is golden: start leaning into other interests before you’re ready to quit drinking. Fill your life with activities that don’t mix well with alcohol, making the transition smoother when you’re ready. And when those pesky thoughts about alcohol creep in? Jake reminds himself he’s played that game enough and is eager for new experiences.
He also touches on finding a version of the truth that feels comfortable to share when people ask why you don’t drink. Whether you’re newly sober or just curious, Jake’s practical tips and honest reflections offer a refreshing perspective on living an alcohol-free life.
