"You never have to feel this way again."

Early sobriety is filled with challenges. It means getting through cravings, making huge changes in your life and in your mindset, and sticking with the promise you made to yourself to stop drinking alcohol. When you have no idea what to expect, so many different things can throw you off course in those first 30 days. So we've gathered some people to talk about what the first 30 days looked like for them, to give you some insight, so you can go into this prepared for the challenges.

"The way you build self worth is by keeping promises to yourself."

In this episode:

  • Freedom from the hiding and the lies that create so much anxiety
  • Practicing gratitude
  • Making healthy choices to support your sobriety
  • Finding a mentor to support you
  • Building self respect and self worth
  • Why you shouldn't wait to make changes
