Being sober means that you can get through everyday life without leaning on the crutch of a drink.
What's the real difference between abstinence and sobriety? On this episode of the 'Sober Friends' podcast, Matt, John, and Steve tackle this essential question. While the dictionary definitions might seem almost identical, their real-life implications are worlds apart. Abstinence is often just the first step—removing alcohol but leaving a void. Sobriety, however, is about filling that void with healthier habits and meaningful connections.
Matt, John, and Steve share their personal journeys, highlighting how they transitioned from merely being dry to truly living sober lives. They discuss the importance of finding new ways to cope with life's ups and downs without leaning on alcohol. Ever wondered why some people struggle to stay sober even after quitting drinking? This episode might have the answers you're looking for.
The hosts dive into the role of fellowship in recovery, emphasizing how connecting with others can provide the support needed to replace old habits with new, healthier ones. They also talk about the power of recovery meetings and the practical tools that can help you get through tough days. If you're curious about how to move beyond just quitting drinking and towards a life that's genuinely happy, joyous, and free, this episode is a must-listen.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, Matt, John, and Steve's insights offer valuable perspectives on what it means to live a truly sober life.
