Feeling like you're being left out - or worrying about missing out - is soooo common when you're sober. Some things just aren't the same after you quit drinking, and it takes some time to get comfortable with that. And of course, sometimes we're worrying far too much about things that end up not being an issue at all anyway. Join us as we chat with Eliza, Sherralyn, and Alex about FOMO - what it means, and how we overcome it so we don't feel like we're missing out on anything at all.

E57: Fighting FOMO When You’re Sober

Hanging out at the intersection of emotional wellness, personal growth, and living an alcohol-free life.

No Alcohol Needed (formerly Through the Glass Recovery) is a podcast for anyone who is considering or has chosen an alcohol-free life and wanting more from life than just “not drinking.” Hosted by Julie Miller and Steve Knapp, certified alcohol-free life coaches, the show features honest, thoughtful conversations about the inner work that actually makes life feel better.

Together, they explore topics like shame, anxiety, difficult relationships, emotional regulation, identity, and the patterns that  keep people stuck in a life that feels empty. These are conversations about building emotional skills, self-trust, and a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling without alcohol.

Whether you are sober-curious, newly alcohol-free, or years into sobriety and still asking “now what?”, this sobriety podcast offers honest conversation and real life lessons learned, mixed with expert insights and perspective shifts to help you move beyond coping and toward thriving in a life that feels genuinely good.

How to be happy. No alcohol needed.
