Summary
My first sober vacation was a challenge, but when I was done I was in awe of myself. I did that! It was then that I started to think about the concept of ‘sober firsts’. Focusing on these challenging ‘first’ experiences with sobriety - the sober summer, the sober wedding, the sober holiday - helped me stay in touch with how sobriety was impacting my life.
And let me tell you: the self-confidence that you build when you dedicate yourself really experiencing these sober firsts, even when they’re hard, is a self-confidence that you can rely on in every moment that comes after. Because you learn that you’ve got your back no matter what. That knowledge is invaluable.
What’s on your list of upcoming sober firsts? Tell me on IG or comment on the Spotify feed or leave it in a review on Apple!
Today I’m highlighting chapter 7 of my book The Sober Shift. Get your copy here!
