about this episode

Sobriety is a gift that gives us an invitation to personal development.

The work of sobriety is about revealing ourselves to ourselves and consists of processes that involve balancing our fear, changing our limiting beliefs, understanding how our childhood shapes us, and self-reflecting. Having a sobriety practice is like having an exercise practice – it’s about what we do today, not what we did in the past. A sustainable sobriety practice is an invitation to grow and move beyond where we are now and to experience the good stuff that comes from that growth. Today, I’m talking about the practice of sobriety, what it actually looks like, and how to develop a personal development practice yourself.
