I just want people to know that life is so much better on this side.
Meet Kim and Catherine, the dynamic duo behind 'The Weekend Sober' podcast. These two friends turned their shared struggle with alcohol into a journey of mutual support and sobriety. In this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', host Matt Gardiner sits down with them to discuss their transition from enabling each other’s drinking habits to cheering each other on in sobriety. Their chemistry is palpable, reflecting their strong friendship and shared experiences.
Kim and Catherine dive into their attempts at moderation and how it often led to frustration rather than control. They touch on the pervasive 'Mom/wine culture' that normalized their drinking and made it harder to quit. Both women reveal that they used alcohol to mask their introverted nature, forcing themselves into the role of the 'life of the party'. Now, they embrace their true selves without the crutch of alcohol.
The conversation also explores the importance of developing naturally without relying on substances and recognizing toxic relationships that fuel bad habits. Kim and Catherine’s stories are a testament to the power of friendship in overcoming addiction and finding fulfillment in sobriety. If you’re tired of the cycle of moderation attempts and want to see what life can be like without alcohol, this episode is for you.
Tune in to hear Kim and Catherine's inspiring journey and discover how sobriety has allowed them to live more authentically and joyfully.
