The early days of sobriety were easier than I expected. I am looking forward to learning to cope with all of the things that kept me drinking for 10 years. The workshops this week have been great! I am heading on to 9 months and looking forward to accomplishing my first year.

Yesterday, I hit one year sober! My daughters are so proud of me, which makes it all worthwhile. I get these ‘down times’ occasionally, and I just have to wait for it to pass. And it does, always! I am now feeling more hopeful and generally happier. This group has been a wonderful support.

I know I’ve got to keep working on myself and there’s a long way to go (this is a marathon, not a sprint). I just want to say THANK YOU, Veronica Valli, for showing me the way. I’ve been searching for so long for this and now I’m living it.

Veronica’s book resonated with me and helped me a lot back when I was quitting, so when I heard she had an online group it was a no-brainer. I work a crazy amount of hours, so having an online community I can access any time is awesome.

I read Veronica’s book and loved it. I then discovered the podcasts, connecting deeply with Veronica and Chip’s shared wisdom and philosophies. After learning about Soberful Life, I knew I wanted to dig deeper with Veronica & Chip and other like-minded souls on the next leg of my journey.

I feel like this podcast is a best-kept secret for not just people exploring or becoming sober, but for parenting! As an early childhood development guru and parent of a toddler, I am always learning and growing and this podcast gives so much good insight! They are funny, insightful, real, and just overall amazing people.

I joined Soberful Life in Sept of last year, and the support and education I’ve received as I do this work has made all of the difference in my recovery.

I had no idea why I contacted you or how it was going to work but I knew I needed something different. I strongly identified with your message and found hope in your approach to sobriety.

I liked your clear, matter-of-fact, grounded perspective. You combine personal experience with years of professional training and experience. You & Chip both helped me work through my experiences of the bickering between factions in the recovery community, break it down to nuts and bolts, and look at things practically vs emotionally.

I am a very private person, and find it hard to discuss my drinking with anyone face to face. I have not been able to speak up at AA meetings so this is perfect for me. I live in a rural area so meetings are not as readily available when I feel like drinking.
Soberful Life Member
This is by far and away the best sober podcast out there. Chip and Veronica have been sober for decades and have lots of great advice.
Soberful Podcast Listener
I’ve never found a way of thinking about and approaching sobriety that I more strongly connect with as your and Chip’s approach. There is so much content on so many different topics related to sobriety which helps give me a very broad view of recovery. And I love that you guys are pro-12-step but not exclusively 12-step, and therefore very open.
Soberful Life Member
Veronica really helped me figure out the reason I was drinking destructively, and how to go about getting to the bottom of those issues. Then stop drinking and stop desiring it.
Soberful Life Member
So much more is possible with sobriety and the 5 pillars of sustainable sobriety framework.
Leeny, Soberful Life Member
I have been in recovery for 10 years. I have learned a lot of self worth, shame, honesty etc. this podcast was very helpful on reminding me how being our authentic self is the ONLY way to form true connections. Loved it!
Soberful Podcast Listener
I just listened to your podcast about the first year in recovery again. I’m almost 7 months sober now and I resonated with everything you both said. Cried in realization and gratitude for how far I have come, and knowing that “it only gets better” is a wonderful thought and strength for me to continue. Thanks for everything you do!
Soberful Member
The Soberful podcast is wonderful. I dip in and out of the podcasts as I need them. Veronica and Chip feel like old friends, and I look forward to hearing their familiar voices every week.
Soberful Member
Thanks so much for your podcast guys, really enjoy your informative and entertaining banter. Veronica, your book was so helpful to me on my sober journey, and I recommended it to everyone in my online support group. You guys are a dynamic duo.
Soberful Member
What I found here is a warm, committed, generous, curious, respectful, and compassionate like-minded community of people with whom I feel welcome, safe and understood. Veronica and Chip have many invaluable years of experience, stories, struggles, tools, and insights. They do it with honesty, wit and thoughtfulness.
Julie, Soberful Life Member
This is an entertaining podcast – Chip and Veronica have such great chemistry. It is a must for anyone struggling with addiction or has a family member that is addicted.

MY STORY
When I first started drinking, it was fun. I felt like I finally belonged in my own skin. Like I had the keys to this exciting new world. It’s like how you feel when you take your first couple of drinks. Fun. Relaxed. Happy. Interesting to others.
Funny how the blackouts, arguments, embarrassments, fatigue, and sometimes dangerous behaviors—and terrible hangovers—are muted by the glow of those first few drinks and the promises they make to us.
Eventually, I was drinking to numb the intense fear and panic I experienced yet didn’t have the tools to handle. “I’m not an alcoholic,” I told myself as I drank at 8:30 AM to get through class at university without panic. “Alcoholics actually enjoy drinking. I’m doing this because I have to.”
The things I told myself to convince myself that I needed to drink—and eventually to use drugs—were unreal. And I believed them every time.
THE GREAT BIG SOBER SECRET
When I finally heard someone describe the inner world of someone with an alcohol problem, I understood with crystal clarity that there was a solution to my problem…
