In this episode of Through the Glass Recovery Podcast, we focus on one of the most crucial phases of recovery: your first 30 days sober. Five people share what they experienced during this transformative period, offering an honest look at the challenges, triumphs, and lessons they’ve learned. If you're in the early stages of your own sober journey and are wondering what to expect, these stories provide powerful insights, encouragement, and practical advice. Tune in for raw, real-life reflections on navigating sobriety’s beginning steps and learn how to thrive, not just survive these first 30 days.

"I went from, 'I don't want to die' to 'I want to really live.'"

In this episode:

  • Setting small goals
  • Finding support in a community
  • How your partner can support you
  • Overcoming the shame that comes with addiction

  • Withdrawals
  • Giving yourself grace and patience
