E81: Self Esteem and Sobriety: Building Confidence After Quitting Drinking


Listen Later

Let's chat about self esteem and sobriety - and why it's so important. Life doesn't automatically just get easy when you quit drinking. Uncomfortable emotions still crop up from time to time, and one of the best things we can do is develop the skills to move through those emotions in a healthy way. One of the emotions that throws people for a loop is insecurity, so that's what we're gonna tackle today.

In this episode, we've invited sober influencer Azure, sober podcaster Brianna, and sober influencer Ginelle to come share with us how they've dealt with insecurity, and what they've done to increase their self esteem since they stopped drinking. If we can learn healthy ways to step out of insecurity and into confidence, we'll be able to handle life that much better. Stay tuned for some great insight and some helpful tips that you'll be able to use the next time insecurity gets the best of you.

"This isn't a game I play alone."

In this episode, you'll hear about:

  • The difference between external and internal self esteem
  • The value of trusting and believing in your own intuition
  • Letting go of living to impress others, and finding the courage to stop being fake
  • How to define realistic expectations so you can reasonably lower your standards
  • Learn the importance of small, esteemable acts and how to incorporate them into your life
  • Understand how excessive apologizing minimizes our value and lowers self worth
  • How to cope when regret is the source of your insecurity
  • The value of therapy - not just in sobriety, but in building self esteem
  • The interconnectedness of shame, vulnerability, and healthy self esteem
