Description
Getting sober is tough. We have to figure out how to live again and finally learn some coping skills and tools. It’s uncomfortable.

Have you ever vowed to stop drinking, but then you drink again anyway? It’s a rhetorical question. I know the answer is yes. It’s frustrating when we keep doing this to ourselves and it destroys our belief in ourselves, which is an essential part of staying sober. In this episode I’m discussing...
