In episode 236 of the Sober Vibes podcast, Courtney Andersen talks about the 13 years of living alcohol-free. She has learned some powerful lessons about what it takes to get sober, stay sober, and thrive in your sober life.

Courtney is sharing her 13 biggest takeaways from her journey, truths she wishes she had known when she was starting out. Whether you’re sober curious, in your first year, or navigating the tricky space between year one and year two, these lessons will give you hope, direction, and practical strategies to keep moving forward.

What you will learn in this episode:

• Why you don’t need to hit “rock bottom” to change your life
• The messy truth about slips and how to recover from them without shame
• How to rebuild trust with yourself after years of drinking
• Why the first year is so different from every year after
• The role of rest, forgiveness, and boundaries in lasting sobriety
• How to create a sober life you love (and don’t want to escape from)
