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

that 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.

And welcome to the Soberfall podcast.

I'm Veronica Valley.

And this is the final episode before our summer break. There will be no new episodes in July and August,

taking a little mental health break from doing the podcast. We'll be back in September,

and hopefully Chip will be with me. We've had, you know, just a few bits and bobs going on,

and Chip is very much hoping to be back with some episodes in September.

So today, I'm going to be talking about the gifts of emotional sobriety. If you are familiar with my work

at all, you know this is something that I, this is the hill that I will die on. Emotional sobriety is the point.

It's everything. It's where all of the

good stuff comes from. And I really, I kind of want to talk about the gifts, emotional sobriety,

but I really want to sell it to you, right? If you don't feel like you're emotionally sober,

if you are struggling with sobriety, struggling to get sober, struggling to stay sober, or I meet

lots of people who are sober, but they're not happy.

I want to sell you on why you should do the work of emotional sobriety and why it's the

gift that just keeps on giving.

So this is the hill I will die on.
