If I continue to not drink, I can also work towards having all of these things that I really want in life, because alcohol just drains you of everything.
Feeling overwhelmed by the thought of staying sober? Episode 43 of the Sober Reference Podcast offers a refreshing perspective. Host Louise Grati sits down with Mic, a sobriety advocate and founder of Sober Babes Vancouver, to share bite-sized, actionable advice for those embarking on their sobriety journey. Mic’s insights are particularly valuable for smart, driven adults who are getting sober for the first time and are looking for practical tips to navigate this new chapter of their lives.
Mic debunks common myths about sobriety, such as the notion that sober people lead boring lives. She argues that it's actually the repetitive cycle of weekend drinking that drains your energy and excitement. In contrast, sobriety has allowed her to achieve more in one year than she did in the previous four.
From going back to school to landing a new job and renting a new house, Mic’s story is a testament to the positive changes that come with an alcohol-free lifestyle. One of the standout moments in this episode is Mic’s discussion on mental health. She shares how alcohol used to undermine all her efforts to take care of herself, from exercising to sleeping well and taking medication.
Sobriety has not only improved her mental health but also increased her resilience, enabling her to face life's challenges with a clear mind. Mic also offers practical advice for dealing with distractions and social pressures. She emphasizes the importance of saying no to things that don't serve your sobriety and shares new realizations that have helped her stay focused.
If you’ve ever wondered how to respond when someone asks why you don’t drink, Mic has got you covered with thoughtful comebacks. Whether you're newly sober, sober curious, or supporting someone on their journey, this episode is packed with valuable insights and tips. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and practical advice that will help you thrive in your alcohol-free life.
