I dreamt that you were twisting through seven sons of gold and the gypsy was insisting

that his story must be told I came two in the morning but I took it as a warning That you might be a treasure

I could touch but never hold

Hi everybody, welcome to the Soberforce podcast.

My name is Veronica Valley.

And my name's Chip Summers, and I'm going to try and speak a little bit faster than Veronica today.

He's saying things so slowly, but I will try and speed things up on my end.

I told you, it's because people never hear my name correctly, and I get Victoria and Vanessa, and I'm just trying to...

Yeah, I know that, but you don't have to do that.

My name. Oh, dear. Okay, well, welcome to the Sober 4 podcast. We just had our 100th episode last week. It was incredible. Which was amazing. Yeah, amazing. Can't believe we've done 100. Yeah, no, who would have thought it, eh? It's great.

So today we're going to talk about stress and burnout and sobriety, because that's a really big issue for everybody, but particularly people who are trying to get sober, because alcohol tends to be our go-to for that.

Yeah, I mean, I think for some people, sort of actually really experiencing stress and all its sort of manifestations, it might be the first time they've ever actually

really done that because previously, I know I dealt with stress by drinking and taking

drugs.

That's how I dealt with stress.

So I never really experienced stress to its full extent.

But it's definitely something that is a part of recovery and sobriety and learning how to handle it.

But at the same time, life can be very stressful at times.

So before we get started on that, we want to let you know about two free webinars that we have

coming up. One is at the end of July. And if you go to soberful.com, you should be able to see

a link there to sign up. You must register. Otherwise, we can't send you the link and all that

business. But the first one is on July 28th.
