I've told my family and friends I cannot drink because if I do, I will not stop. I always say that my recovery is the foundation on which the rest of my life is built.
Ever wondered how creativity can flourish in sobriety? This episode of Tribe Sober brings you an intimate conversation between Janet and artist Jo Roets. Both having embraced sobriety in 2015, they share a unique bond and a wealth of experiences. Jo’s story starts with her college years, where drinking wasn't a big deal. But after becoming a mother at 23, she found herself using wine as a way to cope with the challenges of parenthood and career disruptions.
Her husband’s life seemed to continue unaffected, which only added to her frustration. As Jo's family grew, so did her evening wine habit. But eventually, she recognized the need for change. Sobriety became the foundation upon which she rebuilt her life and her art. Jo talks about how quitting alcohol opened up new avenues for creative inspiration and personal growth.
She even shares the story behind one of her captivating artworks, 'Anabantoidei', which symbolizes the warrior spirit within women—a fitting tribute to the Tribe Sober community. Janet and Jo delve into the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies the decision to go sober. They discuss the importance of having role models and support systems, and how shaking up your daily routine can make a huge difference in maintaining an alcohol-free lifestyle.
Jo offers practical tips for finding joy and fulfillment without alcohol, proving that life can be richer and more vibrant on the other side of addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to find inspiration in their own journey to sobriety. Whether you’re just starting out or have been sober for years, Jo’s story is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and community.
