Ep. 216: Why Emotional Sobriety Is Key to Navigating an Alcohol-Free Life

When I was drinking I used alcohol to check out after a hard day, numb out from irritation and resentment, make the monotony of adulting less boring and as a reward to look forward to for getting through another week. 

And when drinking left me with too many hangovers, sleepless nights and crushing anxiety I finally decided that I didn’t want to feel that way anymore and (slowly) pieced together 30, 60, 100, 180+ days alcohol-free. 

It’s not easy, but it is pretty clear how to do the “sobriety” thing. When you don’t drink, you’re sober!

But in order to “stay” sober, learning how to practice emotional sobriety can keep you balanced and happy in an alcohol-free life.

Emotional sobriety is all about handling your emotions in a healthy, balanced way without turning to alcohol to cope with life’s challenges. 

It’s really important for long-term recovery because ignoring your mental and emotional health can get you in a place where it’s really attractive to escape with alcohol.
