Unapologetically Sober

I'm so grateful that one of my closest friends joins us on the pod today to discuss his sober journey. Joe shares what led to his decision to live a sober life and how he overcame many initial challenges. He shares his gratitude for his family and friends and emphasizes the importance of a support system as he continues to navigate sobriety. If you or anyone you know is considering a different relationship with alcohol (raising my own hand!), this is the episode to spend some time with and to share.

If you are looking for resources to help you navigate your sobriety, here is a list:
