You quit drinking, you’re feeling lit, and suddenly… real life crashes back in. Now what?

In this milestone 90th episode of Sober & Lit, Coaches Susan Larkin and Ruby Williams get radically honest about the messy, beautiful, non-linear reality of life after alcohol. Because yes—sobriety brings clarity, joy, and deep transformation… but it doesn’t come with a magic wand. What happens when the unicorns disappear and you’re still dealing with family tension, career pivots, sleep struggles, or your own inner critic?

Have you ever asked yourself, “Shouldn’t I be happier by now?”

Ruby and Susan pull back the curtain on their own post-alcohol journeys—sharing the tools, mindset shifts, and community support that helped them navigate everything from financial fear to burnout to unrealistic expectations of ‘wellness perfection.’ They explore emotional sobriety, building new emotional coping muscles, and the freedom that comes from being imperfect and empowered.

Whether you’re newly alcohol-free, sober-curious, or deep in your journey, this episode is a warm reminder: you’re not doing it wrong if life still feels hard sometimes. You’re just doing it human.
