Sober Edge

From Chaos to Calm: The Sober Truth


Listen Later

In this episode of The Sober Edge, Teri explores a powerful truth about the alcohol-free journey: after the chaos and drama of drinking, peace can feel... flat. Many people in early sobriety wonder if they've lost their spark or if boredom is the new normal. But what if this stillness is actually the foundation for something deeper — clarity, calm, and true contentment?

You'll hear about:

  • Why drinking creates a false sense of excitement
  • How the nervous system reacts to calm after chronic overstimulation
  • Why "boredom" might actually mean "discomfort with stillness"
  • The mindset shift that reframes peace as powerful
  • Tools for finding joy and purpose in a slower, steadier life

Whether you're just starting your alcohol-free path or supporting others on theirs, this conversation will help you embrace the quiet victories and reimagine what it means to feel alive — without chaos.
