Hiya friend and welcome back to the show! Today we are going to hit on how the heck can we meet sober buddies and/or a sober tribe when A.A.  just isn’t for you. Please note, that this is me not bashing on A.A. I truly believe that there is no wrong or right way to recover. If A.A. is helping you, keep going to A.A.! If A.A. is not for you, find something that does work.
Alright, so as I preach on this show, removing alcohol has improved literally every single area of my life. Not joking one bit. It has brought me an overwhelming amount of confidence, empowerment, joy, freedom, and much much more. I’m obsessed with waking up feeling good, being an amazing role model for my children, and helping my friends, family, and listeners like YOU discover a beautiful sober lifestyle.
Now all that sounds quite beautiful and wonderful, doesn’t it? However, if you haven’t worked your tail off to find supportive, sober friends and communities,  it can feel kind of lonely. If you're someone who's committed to living alcohol-free, but you’re constantly the only one in the room NOT drinking and you don’t have anyone to talk to about that - it can feel isolating. You can experience FOMO (fear of missing out) and while we know in our hearts that living alcohol-free is so gosh darn good for us and is definitely the lifestyle upgrade we desire, it’s still hard.
So today, I want to share with you some tips on how to find that support, those friendships, maybe even that community that you could benefit from. Ready? Let's do it!
