When we first get sober, many of us are driven by the pain and consequences of our drinking.

It’s a powerful motivator. 

We remember the hangovers, the broken relationships, the lost jobs, and the overall chaos that drinking brought into our lives. 

This pain is so strong that it is often the best motivation to quit.

But why does this motivation not last for so many of us?  

Why doesn’t the fear of going back to that pain keep people sober? 

And most importantly, what can we do to stay motivated in our recovery journeys?

In this episode of The Sober and Happy Podcast, we will discuss the things we can do today to build sustainable motivation.

Anybody who has quit drinking can tell you that you don’t just quit drinking and automatically stop thinking about alcohol.  

I am certain that I noticed beer commercials and billboards even more once I stopped drinking.  

I definitely started noticing every single time I walked past the liquor aisle in the grocery store.

So, how do we stop obsessing about alcohol once we stop drinking?  

Do we ever get to the point where we can simply live our lives alcohol-free and no longer always worry about how to stay sober?

In this episode, we will discuss the positive impact that shifting our focus from alcohol to living can have on our recoveries and our lives.

Like nature, our recovery journeys have seasons—each with unique challenges and rewards.
