Reading about sobriety isn’t the same as doing the work to get sober.
If you feel like you’re doing everything for your sobriety—but nothing is actually changing—this episode is for you.
And trust me, there’s a huge difference!
Here’s the thing: when I got sober, the landscape looked completely different.
There were no podcasts, no endless library of quit lit books, no free challenges.
But today? You can fill every spare moment with sobriety content.
And while that’s amazing in so many ways, it’s also created something I see over and over: people who mistake presence for participation.
They’re reading books, listening to podcasts, signing up for challenges, even showing up to meetings – but they’re not actually engaging.
They’re just… there.
And that’s how people stay stuck for years—busy, informed, and still drinking.
So in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what it means to shift from passive presence to active participation.
Because that shift?
That’s where real transformation happens.
I dive into:
Tune in and get ready to shift from being present in your recovery to actually participating in it.
Because that’s where the magic happens, my friend.
And I promise you’re capable of it – right now, exactly as you are.
If you’re done consuming recovery content and ready to actually change, Sober Society is where that happens.
Join us in Sober Society for just $27/month! We’ve got meetings throughout the week (and we’re adding more in February, including a meditation meeting!).
This is a place where people actually show up, support each other, and do the work together.
