Off the Sauce with The Sober Sisters

This week is a short sober check-in. We talk about being at work, while coworkers openly talk about drinking. Something that once felt triggering now felt more disrespectful than tempting.  

We laugh about how chaotic life used to be when we were drinking, and how far we've actually come without always realizing it.

Next week, we're diving deeper- Jackie shares her real story.

After a year-long hiatus, we're back and we're telling the truth.

In this episode, we open up about where we've been, why the show went quiet, and how relapse became part of the story instead of the end of it. We talk honestly about the disease of addiction, what relapse really means (hint: it's not failure). Growth isn't always linear and sometimes you have to walk through the storm to fully understand how to stay grounded when the waves hit again. 

If you've ever felt shame around "starting over," questioned your sobriety journey, or needed proof that recovery is still possible after a setback-this episode is for you.
