Summary

Fear is a universal feeling, we all feel it, but not many of us talk about it. Managing fear is a skill we have to learn so we can grow. When fear takes over our lives, it keeps us small, and we make choices based on our perception of safety -- this keeps us stuck. In this episode, Chip and Veronica discuss ways they have broken through fear and how they manage it in their daily lives.

0:10.2	that story must be told I came two in the morning but I took it as a warning that you might be a treasure.
0:22.4	I could touch but never hold.
0:27.8	Hi, everybody.
0:28.9	Welcome back to the Soberful podcast.
0:30.8	This is Veronica Valley.
0:32.2	And this is Chip Summers.
0:33.9	So today, we are going to be talking about a subject that I actually can't quite believe that we haven't
0:39.4	touched upon yet. And that's fear. That was the right response, wasn't it?
0:46.2	Yeah, yeah.
0:47.9	I just think that this is a really big subject that we need to talk about with anybody who suffers from any kind of
0:55.2	addiction or alcohol use disorder. And I think it's a big subject anyway for everybody. Every
1:00.6	human being has to deal with fear. And I just don't feel anybody talks about it really. So we are

1:25.5	open for 10 days. So this is your chance to get in to the So Before

1:39.1	to a new platform and it's in all singing, all dancing. I mean, not literally, but it's a really, really, really nice platform. It's on the Mighty Networks platform. So everything's in one place. You don't have to use your real name to join. If you don't want to, you can make up a name. It's just such a lovely transition. If you're very used to Facebook, it'll take you like 10 minutes to get used to it. And I don't know about you, Chip,
2:00.9	but whenever, I don't know, you know, you know when you have to learn something new, like, it's a new thing online, like, oh, it's a new sister. I'm always like, oh, my God. Me too. I've always wanted to be called Sebastian. So maybe I'll join us Sebastian. Well, if you said I can use any name, I like, yeah.
