Redefining Sobriety: The Sober Sisters' Take on Recovery
We're going to open up the framework and not be, not ask somebody to follow a program of recovery.
Imagine a world where hitting 'rock bottom' isn't a prerequisite for getting sober. In this thought-provoking episode of the Sober Sisters Society Podcast, Nicole and Tammie re-air a lively radio interview with the charming hosts of The Breakfast Club on COSY-FM in South Haven, MI. Joined by Rosalie Plechaty, Teresa Getman, and the ever-enthusiastic Paul Layendecker, the sisters dive into why the concept of 'rock bottom' can be more harmful than helpful.
They argue that you don't need to reach a devastating low to start your journey to sobriety. Instead, anyone can decide to quit drinking at any point—no labels necessary. The conversation flows naturally as they explore how their unique approach is changing the landscape for women in recovery. They discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected sobriety journeys and how the 'sober-curious' movement is gaining momentum.
Nicole and Tammie are all about breaking free from rigid recovery programs and encouraging self-exploration and personal growth. With their trademark humor and honesty, the sisters share insights on overcoming fear and shame, two significant barriers to sobriety. They highlight the importance of finding happiness and joy in a sober life, making this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about or already on a recovery journey.
Tune in for an engaging mix of heartfelt discussions and light-hearted banter that promises to leave you both informed and inspired.
