Summary

If you’ve ever had one of those “how is this my life?” moments in sobriety—when it feels like everything is crashing down around you and a glass of wine (or five) sounds like the only way to survive the storm—you are not alone. Sobriety doesn’t give you a free pass from heartbreak, betrayal, or complete life plot twists. But it does give you the tools (and the clarity) to get through the mess without self-destructing. In this episode, I sat down with Tiffany Jenkins—bestselling author of the memoirs High Achiever and A Clean Mess—to talk about how to survive hard times in sobriety. And not just survive, but eventually rebuild your life without numbing out.
