Summary
Our society is stuck on the idea that sobriety should be rooted in shame. In today’s episode and in chapter 8 of my book The Sober Shift, I push back on that and argue that your sobriety should not feel like something that you need to hide!
I’ll share how I shifted from my sobriety being something I did quietly to something that I proclaim proudly, and how you can make the shift too, in whatever way feels right for you.
Community makes all the difference. Join The Sober Mom Life Cafe for 6+ Peer Support meetings each week and a private Facebook group to connect with sober and sober-curious women.
