Ep.6: How To Find Friends In Sobriety

QUITTING DRINKING DOESN’T HAVE TO BE LONELY. Finding friends can be hard. Finding friends who are on the same sobriety journey as you can be really hard. But we’re here to help! In this episode my sober bestie, Ingrid Miller, and I will talk about why finding support from people who have been where you are now and who are going through what you’re going through, in this “quitting drinking thing” is so important to your success. No matter how much your friends and family love you and support you – they don’t know how you feel in this process. My guest in this episode is Ingrid. She’s a friend I met 4+ years ago when I was first quitting drinking, the owner of the cutest book store in Seahurst Washington and an all around badass of a human being. I met Ingrid in a secret Facebook group at the beginning of my sober journey, 4 years ago. Together we discuss how we met and the challenges we faced when trying to find a community of women who were going through or had been through the same things we were experiencing on our sobriety journey. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to find the support you need – including a number of our favorite online and in person sober groups for busy women quitting drinking. How to get over the fears you have about joining sober groups. Why finding your people in sobriety makes the process of quitting drinking and creating a life you love without alcohol so much easier (and more fun). Why your spouse, partner, mom or best friend might not be the best person to hold your hand through this process. How you might feel in your first 90 days and why you need women who have “been there and done that” to get you through to the good stuff.
