How I quit alcohol

293. The consistency, grief and acceptance required for change with Ash Butterss


Listen Later

In this episode, I catch up with transformation queen, Ash Butterss we dive into the emotional journey of sobriety—the grief of saying goodbye to your old life, the shifts in friendships, and the discomfort of not being invited to social events. We explore how to move through these sticky, uncomfortable emotions without avoidance, allowing them to be present rather than resisting them.

We also talk about the deep fears that arise with change and how to face them head-on. Transformation is not a passive process—it requires effort, resilience, and a willingness to sit with discomfort. Join us as we unpack the real work behind personal growth and embracing a new way of being.

What We Cover:

- The grief of leaving your old life behind

-How friendships change when you stop drinking

- Navigating the discomfort of not being invited out

- Facing emotions rather than avoiding them

-The courage it takes to embrace transformation
