We are back! We made it through the summer holidays but are still feeling the burn of overwhelm, expectation and the impact of life events. We talk today frankly about what we find hard about this time, what still challenges us a few years down the sober path and our best coping tools. 
Our Book Love Yourself Sober  is on Kindle offer at 99p to honour  National Recovery Month & Sober October.
This time of year can be tough so grab a cuppa, dial it down where you can and let's chat.

Love Sober Podcast. Beyond Booze with Sarah Rusbatch

The first episode of Love Sober Podcast 2.0  with guest Dufflyn Lammers, relationship and recovery coach. 
 
We know that, as Johann Hari says, connection is the opposite of addiction and so this  season has a focus on relationships with self and others. 
 
We introduce ourselves and delve into a bit of our respective histories, and why we do what we do. Dufflyn got sober 30 years ago, before we had the language around grey area drinking. 
 
Dufflyn talks to us about how she helps women thrive in relationships once they stop drinking or identify as being in recovery. 
 
She will popping  on regularly to take questions about relationships throughout the season and you I will be exploring sobriety questions so please feel free to write in to  hello@lovesober.com if you have a relationship  or sobriety quandary.
